It has come to my attention that Genesis Mining is currently under DDoS, as are other legitimate cloud mining operations.
The attacks began yesterday (22December) on Nexus Mining website, and have expanded today onto Genesis Mining website.
I've been trying to gather some kind of evidence, but it's difficult to ascertain, since the attack is being orchestrated from 1000's of ip addresses.
I'm led to believe that someone at GAW thinks that these genuine operations are a threat to their Paycoin ponzi scheme and as such are carrying out these attacks.
I'm also under the impression that this is not the first time they have done this.
If anyone can help, it's frustrating for my friends who work at these operations, albeit, not a threat to the mining side (payouts are being made as normal).
Please help, whoever can. This sort form of dirty tactic is not what we need to see in crypto.
All I know is that it's not just some small-time hat doing this and that my instinct points towards GAW.
thanks.

I believe that this is an attempt to defame GAW miners.
It would be helpful if you post the IPs from which the attach was being done, and some proof that tells us that gaw was behind this attack.
