There are multiple talks of ways to prevent DDoS from affecting the price of bitcoin though. Easiest method is to stop making mtgox the main/central exchange. Every website about bitcoin and bitcoin price/charts links to the exchange rate on mtgox. Simply changing that to show the exchange rate on the other exchanges would help. Or if it's possible to make the exchanges into a peer-to-peer network like torrenting where every miner backs the exchange.
