Nice read, my favorite part was when he talks about the filtering system 
going online for the first time:

"The attack went to 1.5Gb, with bursts up to 3Gb. It wasn't targeted at one 
thing. It was going to routers, DNS servers, mail servers, websites.
It was like a battlefield, where there's an explosion over here, then over 
there, then it's quiet, then another explosion somewhere else," says Lyon. 
"They threw everything they had at us. I was just in shock."

3Gb?! Ouch!
