DDos

[DarkRainGirl]

GOOGLE: ISPs are, without a doubt, the experts in DDoS mitigation and are uniquely positioned to protect their customers' network against malicious traffic. ISPs can detect and filter out potential DDoS packets before they reach your border, preventing such attacks from consuming all of your available bandwidth.

As far as I know from what i have heard from so many others you can prevent this and even stop it, though I don't know much about the process I do know that it is possible SE isn't helpless but they are doing nothing when they could be doing something.
