Thanks.

If you mean all the customers one day decided to revolt and they all agreed to commit felonies then it is unlikely they could achieve a full sustained outage for long as their identity and IP addresses are already well known.

If you feel like saying more, I'm wondering what actions a platform could take to stop an attack like this by their customers, and especially how easy or difficult it would be to stop without impacting business as usual (like say business with customers who weren't part of the attack?)

If customers were being malicious the normal process would be to

- block them by their IP accepting that if they are being a SNAT or CG-NAT legit customers may be blocked for a while. Adjust procedure based on whatever attack tools and resources are being utilized.

- have internal meeting with head of legal, all the C-levels, head of customer support

- send cease and desist emails from the legal department and/or cancel their accounts or just:

- coordinate with the FBI, provide logs and specific customer information to FBI or whichever agencies are appropriate for the customers physical locations on file.

- get a cup of coffee and maybe put some Kava in it to stay awake but also chill. Work on other tasks until the FBI wants more logs or whatever.

- maybe guess why customers are being buttholes and if the company actually did something to deserve it. Maybe update CV. Go for a walk with head on a swivel in case angry customers are in parking lot. Sit on thinking chair (toilet).
