Does anyone have any data on the type or profile of people being targeted?
Online betting organizations and financial institutions, AFAICT.
Can anyone confirm that the threat is indeed real?
It's real in that they'll launch DDoS attacks in order to try and extort
payment, yes.
These attacks can and have beeen successfully defended against. Nothing
exotic or unusual, just run-of-the-mill reflection/amplification attacks
and packet-flooding attacks.
