>> Well, you seem to be proof that Musk feels no need to spend anything on cybersecurity. Musk has not said that. But I clearly stated my view that the attack WAS mitigated. The state-of-the-art, AFAIK, does not mean that DDOS can be prevented, as much as they can be mitigated, and mitigation is what occurred. There exists no mitigation strategy that can prevent all DDoS attacks with certainty. You can do things to reduce the likelihood of a persistent attack (like Musk does at Twitter) but at this time there is no mitigation that can guarantee DDOS attacks to fail. Every system known has limitations in system resources, and attackers can use a variety of approaches that scale and change as needed. This is not anything new. You can minimize the likelihood of success but you cannot guarantee it. Musk is already doing those things AFAIK. If you were willing to spend more money and vastly over-provision your systems you might slow it down, but reality is someone is eventually going to defeat that, too. This is a silly argument. You MUST realize you are wrong and be just trying to keep it going.
