what surprises me is why did it take so long to DDOS Poloniex?
don't get me wrong-I'm not pro DDOSing an exchange ,but this one has been moving forward in leaps in bounds
and suffered zero setbacks or attacks or hack attempts (as far as I know)
while the rest of the competitor exchanges have been involved in all sort of calamities

I guess Poloniex should do a server uprgade. I think more traders now are using their platform, and it can't handle huge amount of transaction. And they should upgrade their IT infrastructure as well because it involves a lot of money. So they should get a good IT support 24/7. They can't reason out that they are under DDoS, they should be prepared with this kind of scenario.
