While an individual involved in a flash mob did nothing wrong, there is a difference between an individual and an organizer. Blue Security *organized* the flash mob. This makes them a target for a counter-attack.
I agree with the previous poster: Blue Security was either ignorant to believe that this would not happen to them, or irresponsible to put their hosting ISPs and DNS providers in the line of fire without prior notice.
