Ping to a good article. Krebs mentions that he protected his domain using Akamai (pro bono). Here's a page describing some protection: https://www.akamai.com/us/en/resources/protect-against-ddos-attacks.jsp but I don't know how they protected Krebs. Note that there are at least two protections: application layer and DNS request flooding protection. I don't know the attack on Krebs used one or the other or both, but if I had to guess it was not the DNS. But I don't know for sure and the article doesn't say.

Krebs now has his DNS at google:
Name Server: NS-CLOUD-D1.GOOGLEDOMAINS.COM
Name Server: NS-CLOUD-D2.GOOGLEDOMAINS.COM
Name Server: NS-CLOUD-D3.GOOGLEDOMAINS.COM
Name Server: NS-CLOUD-D4.GOOGLEDOMAINS.COM

I don't know if that is a new change to go with his new hosting or not. My guess is the DNS server was not attacked, but rather his web server (via IP).
