No I didn't notice it but as security improves the effects of wide range attacks gets less, still the problem is much bigger in targeting a single site or server, popular sites like mylot for instance may be target for nasty DDOS attacks (Distributed Denial Of Service) and although there's protection against it they cost the site a lot of money in wasted bandwidth.. there are tougher laws now against cyber crimes but there should be a "cyber Interpol" too because some countries doesn't have laws against such activities and cyber terrorists can attack from "safe" places around the world.
