Seeing this from another perspective, shouldn't Reserve's engineering team have been able to pre-empt this kind of attack? If they could do a postmortem and determine the requests came from a single range of IP's (assumption), they could have foreseen it. Or if they had set up alerting around frequency of reservations, they would seen an outsized number of requests which they could further look into. These are pretty easy to set up, so I'm surprised they're so naïve about this kind of vector.
