Working to recover a customer's hacked Joomla site.
Apparently, when the hack is removed it's possible that the hackers
will respond with a DDOS attack.

See:  http://muninn.net/blog/2012/06/a-tale-of-east-asian-history-british-loan-sharks-and-a-russian-hacker.html

That's the same hack.

Is there a "sink" somewhere where the domain can be pointed that
will simply absorb or ignore the DDOS attack?  Perhaps if there is
a DDOS attack we could just de-register the domain until the DDOS
stops?   Other ideas?

We don't know if it's coming but think we should prepare for it.

TIA
Eric

PS: the WSO tool is amazing.  I'd think about using it as a
legitimate tool if I could be sure it wasn't phoning home :-)
