RE: Host.us DDOS attack

Further to that, and I would suggest it should be part of the overall discussion here. It appears the IPv4 IP block my 
VM is in is not currently advertised on the world route table. I assume hostus.us's transit provider has dropped their 
ipv4 BGP to save themselves. This is really the ultimate reward for the extortionists as they don't even need to 
sustain the DDOS to attack their target. While I see the transit providers point of view, it’s a pretty shitty 
situation for their customer, and their customers/customers.

Interestingly my VM (LA) with them has been effectively down for half a day as far as IPv4 is concerned. IPv6 traffic 
seems unaffected.
