<div dir="ltr">In OP case yes, but just saying were someone like Scott Weeks wish to perform said attack, they could probably do it with just 7 servers as previously mentioned. Or maybe even a single 10Gbit server, though aforementioned 'dodgy' providers don't do 10Gbit that cheap. That is part of the scariness of these sorts of attacks, they are a lot easier to carry out with minimal knowledge and funds (comparatively).</div>

</div>The servers are likely compromised, and there are likely more than seven.<br>
