that's crazy - if you think about who would have incentives/ a motive to do so. I can only think about governments or anti-piracy companies...

how expensive is it to run a ddos attack like this?

I don't know the exact prices but I know there are ready to buy botnets on the Darkweb. So it's actually quite commoditized - and there are many +3 year old android phones that don't get security updates anymore, it's not a rare resource.

If a major player does so, they probably need to pay a law firm which in turn uses an IT service shell company which costs a lot - I'm speculating here, this is far from any evidence that this happened.

My vote is that it's a Chainalysis company doing this :P

govts & anti-privacy actors... that's a pretty big list.
