I got another similar threat for another Russian who's name was *Igor* Sysoev.
He wanted $100,000,000,000!!!

Just kidding! Out of serious though there are cloud services to help
mitigate against DDoS attacks. I have friends that work for this one:
http://www.ultradns.com/Services/SiteProtect which starts at $500 a month.
I'd be happy to get you some information.
but I think there are others that may be less expensive.
