Keith Alexander, NSA Chief, once blamed his late arrival at a Washington event to a DDoS (distributed denial of service) hacking attack on city street lights.... Wow.

That was a joke, as the article points out. As in, all the lights happened to be timed such that he was denied from moving.
more like a "serial denial of service"

but who's counting among friends, huh?

Got a source? That sounds so incredible I almost want it to be true.
thats just good marketing / social engineering :]
