From your link:
"LOIC attacks are easily identified in system logs, and the attack can be tracked down to the IP addresses used."
So I don't consider this to be effective DDoS. I consider Cloudflare to be a more authoritative source on this matter.
Also, where is the source that activists used this? Were they successful using LOIC?
