Why give them a credit? |

Denton, TX | Probably because it would take more time/$$$ to explain to those people what was happening and why it was their fault (ie: you opened up an email with the subject line of "FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: This is FUNNY LAWL!"). |

"updated to more sophisticated network protection hardware." Perhaps their equipment/ protective measures were less than robust, leaving them partailly responsible.
Better hardware and some advance planning SHOULD have allowed them to end the attack more quickly. |

said by battleop:"suspended the accounts of zombified PCs that took part in the attack and are now crediting those users for lost service." Why give them a credit? That's what I am thinking, if they were the cause of the problem, they should get... THE BILL!
