    Well they made a bad job of it because you can’t do that with a DDOS attack. Basically it’s the same as picketing the entrance to a building. All you need is a lot of people anyone can do it at any time.

    Actually entering the building and manipulating contents it holds is much more difficult, as then you actually have to engage with the building security.

    A DDOS attack can never delete data.

      A DDOS alone cannot delete data, but like your picketing analogy, if you can get in first, the picketing will keep out anyone looking to stop your interference.
