Do these attackers still believe they can dupe sender into sending coins twice or are they just out to create havoc and force a drop in prices. Somewhere I guess people are putting large buy orders on low prices.

Am I right that bitcoin client just test for transaction validity and its presence by hash and if there is no similar transaction it just replicate it to all known nodes without checking it against blockchain and this cause a ddos?
This behaviour sounds very odd, can't believe in this.

This is one reason why I don't store my bitcoins on exchanges or in other hosted wallets. I am completely unaffected. Hopefully this event will knock some sense into some people.
And while I'm on the subject ... sometime in the next few months, the wallet of some major site will be hacked and a bunch of people are going to lose all of their bitcoins. You heard it here first.

blockchain.info isn't affected beacuse they aren't an exchange. DUH!!!!!!! this has to do with internal network verification vs the blockchain. this is more of an issue for an exchange that mixes up everyones balances internally.
blockchain.info doesn't move balances around internally and since the person controls their own private key this issue has nothing to do with them.
