You are right about this here if you have an adamant enough "foe" there is no way to stop a DDos attack BUT you can have the effects of such an attack nullified & rendered harmless to your clients by having everything backed up onto at least one back up server...any business with any sense has at least one & I know Mojang does as well but seemingly not for all their services like the one that is down right now..I'm sure they have back ups of the website & client databases because those are absolute necessity...these guys have done wonders with the game but like I said before there is ALWAYS room for improvement...be it with the system, code or the devs themselves as human error one way or another is more often then not the problem with such things...it is very common place such industry's.
I think he did click 'quit' because he wrote it himself, but someone picked up on it and starting to DDoS afterwards.
Or perhaps he realized that was a dumb business move admitting to doing that even though it is a very easy thing for any one to accidentally do & then changed the story to a DDos attack lol....any business savvy person would NEVER admit to their clientele that they did something as silly as that lol but like I said it happens to the best of us.
To all the people who think it was a "Wrong click" ...... Can't you do any research before you make these accusations?
A DDoS attack is very difficult firstly to know when they're coming. Secondly to defend against them, Yes protection can be done, but only a limit..
Hence the need for a back up server to fill the gap when something like this does happen...
