Topic: BetcoinSports.com - DDoS Attacks and Extortion Demands (Read 3257 times)

Do you not know how to fucking read?  I don't go on hackforums, I say the DDoser is from hackforum so go there and look for him.

Hahaha hack forums kid go away please

I not understand why they ever try this.  Do anyone every pay these ass?  And they even attack other small website that get maybe 3 BTC/month profit and ask for 50 BTC ransom.  Just stupid desperate script kiddie who rent botnet or pay DDOS service.  If he own botnet, why he would stop?

Maybe all casino owner should get together and put ransom for the attacker.  Go to hackforums and put 45BTC bounty for info about real identity of this asshole.  The real owners of botnets may give you the user for enough money, thay are greedy asshole too. 

And is also not considered a 0 day exploit, which is what really makes it funny.

A DDOS attack however exploits a very well known vector, which has been vulnerable for years, and is known by many people.

It means the guy sending the email thinks he is a real hecker

what is this please explain about this ??

Haha, "this is a 0 day, bitch"

 

never pays ransom if you pays once then they will threat you again and can ask for this ransom you must do your own protection its better

Thank you for the feedback.  We handled the attacks internally with our staff very quickly and never had a thought of paying any ransom demands.  We wanted to share this with the community because we see other websites devastated by similar attacks and perhaps with our collective efforts we can eliminate them.  

Never pay a ransom, and see about cloud flare.

Don't pay it and talk to your host about some anti-ddos measures.

Though the DDoS attacks have caused us little downtime, we wanted to share with the bitcoin community and our many players that we have experienced many intermittent DDoS attacks over the last six weeks.  Many are preceded or followed by extortion demands such as the following.  We wanted to share our story because perhaps there are many similarities that we can find that may lead to who or what groups are performing these attacks.  At no point were our accounts or security in jeopardy.  Following are some of the messages.  We appreciate your responses and thank you.
