[OT somewhat] DDOS attacks, where to report?

[Jonathan Ben Avraham]

Hi Shimi,

Thanks.

What I am trying to find out is if there are any Israeli ISP's that 
actually offer protection against DDOS attacks and if there is any 
stated public policy on such attacks. For example, is there a legal 
requirement for individuals or ISP's to report such crimes as there is 
with other crimes? Does the government view the liability for damages 
resulting from such attacks as a private responsibility like burglary or 
fire insurance even when the attack is committed by an enemy of the state? 
Is this written anywhere and is there any applicable case law? How big 
or persistent does a cyber attack have to be for it to be considered a 
public issue? Or has no one in government ever considered the question?
