so it will be eventually Cloud VS DDoS eh, both can scale indefinitely so the limit is money, which makes the DDoS guys wins, they practically stole CPU/RAM/NET where cloud providers need to buy hardware as usual

Unless we can somehow secure every net-connected devices, ha (I don't know whether to cry or laugh right now)

Can you third grade down your comment please?

I find your language to be of high interest like you had a "dUH" moment - which I am ignorant to get myself.

The Sons rays meat

DDOS usually occurs via a botnet of infected networked devices. Thus, the attacker is getting their resources for "free" since their host is unknowingly wasting CPU and bandwidth during the attack, while the defender is paying for theirs.
Thanks

Is this analogy accurate?

I have one road to get home. It got blocked so I create 2 more roads.

I now have 3 Roads to get home. All 3 become blocked. So now I have to make another road.

More roads is redundancy and requires capital.

The roads become unblocked but I now must expect future road blocks.
