It was mentioned that this was a co-ordinated attack. That meant a bit of
planning and access to various machines. As to the number of attackers
only Yahoo's internal people may know. Even then it may have only been one
individual with a script that accessed many locations at one time and
initiated the commands. There is the ability to do such an attack.
It's an interesting coincidence that, at roughly the same time that the
attack was taking place, we were sitting in the NANOG meeting listening to a
presentation on Distributed Denial of Service attacks. It's definitely a
major threat...
