Re: 'bot net', really?

Is this the first you have heard of bot nets?

They are widely known to exist and have been used to attack less well defended companies.

Yes, I know what bot nets are. I'm not a clueless newbie.

My skepticism is directed at Akamai. Has there been any third-party confirmation that the outage was actually caused by a bot net rather than their own incompetence?
