Another interesting point to note is that lately, most attacks have been
for the age-old purpose of taking over IRC channels by knocking out
the host on which the operator's bot is running. At least, none of my
clients have seen their websites getting attacked lately. Maybe the calm
before the storm?

Hence, if all the IRC networks would implement Chanserv, and educate users,
these attacks would decrease.
