Topic: While DDOSing my pool, check out what this asshole just sent me (Read 1943 times)

Wanted 1 BTC, then lowered to 0.5 
DDOSed SocialCex.com

The same happened to the DEV of Lemurcoin and his new service.

I might respond that because I'm in a good mood I may only cut off one of your fingers when I catch you. 

lol, no, he/she is not going to get caught.

He/she also demanded 2 BTC from us.

And BTC Guild, GHash, and BitMinter.  About a dozen gambling sites before any pools as well.  AFAIK nobody had paid up yet because doing so is just plain stupid.

yeah a nasty sob

He also done it to mmpool......what a tosspot 

Don't feel bad, the numpty did the same to Eligius I believe.

Thanks, he is. Pity for him it had a p2pool node backend.

What a genuine piece of shit he is. Sorry to hear that, man.

So I run blisterpool.com (simple p2pool node + layer of bonuses), and this asshole decides to try to extort 2btc from me. My node has been under a ddos attack for about 2-3 hours now.

I get an email to all my addresses, and then finally a message on here a few minutes ago. Copy/pasta of message:

Hello

Your mining server is extremely vulnerable to ddos attacks

I want to offer you info how to properly setup your protection, so that you can't be ddosed, at least not with so little power.
My price is 2 Bitcoin only.


Right now I'm running small (very small) attack which will not crash your server, but you should notice it in logs. Just check it.

If I increase the attack size, I could completely crash, it would drop all connections and damage would be big...
Don't worry, I will not do it. Smiley


I want to offer you  info on how I did it and what you have to do to prevent it. If interested pay me 2 BTC to 17aLGgw8AwJdqiBtMMG1QtQJgNQQkiyEsp


Thank you.
