I used to hear about gambling websites who would get demands for money to avoid getting DDoS'd on large days like the super bowl.
Imagine extorting gamedevs with floods of negative reviews on their launch day. I bet that could work. It'd be pretty hard to detect.
I only thought about this because some schizo is claiming it's happening (but it isn't, it's totally organic).
