It depends on the industry. Companies that rely on their websites' availability to make money see DDoS as much more than a nuisance. Unfortunately, the targets often think it's some petty issue that is causing them to be a target when it could be much more targeted. It's so easy to hire a DDoS service to hide what you're doing, I definitely think that more victims would realized they suffered another type of attack concurrently if they weren't so focused on stopping the DDoS attack and getting that money-making site back online.
