DoS Attacks Coming To An End?

BCS is reporting that DoS attacks may be coming to an end.

Simon Heron, managing director of security firm Network Box, said in an interview with IT Week that attackers may soon drop DoS attacks altogether to avoid the high risk of getting caught.

He added that the botnets usually used for such attacks will be instead appropriated for other purposes that bring financial gain.

'This is a risky business because [as a criminal] you're raising your head above the parapet. An attack creates an impetus for people to investigate and work out how to find the command and control channel,' Mr Heron commented.

What do you think? Are DoSers giving up?
