The weekend was a whitewash for the French online poker room, Winamax, thanks to Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, prompting the question why not attack PokerStars or partypoker? 

In February of this year, a group that watches too much Mr Robot subjected the world’s dopest software development platform, Github, to the most substantial Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack in history.

Techworld had this to say about the attacks.

“A new type of DDoS amplification attack hit the site {Github} for an astonishing 1.35 terabits per second through 126.9 million packets per second.”
