This guy (Steve Gibson) is a pretty prominent person in internet security. I listened to this "episode" and was quite startled by the size of this problem. The advise given at the end is good.
Internet Weaponry Episode #47
Leo and I trace the history and rapid growth of Internet Denial of Service (DoS) attack techniques, tools, and motivations over the past eight years. We discuss many different types of attacks while focusing upon the distributed bandwidth flooding attacks that are the most destructive and difficult to block.
