Just For Fun: the April Fools that attacked BoonEx show up with some demands.
Well, well, well... lookie here. We got ourselves a blackmailer! Just in the midst of the latest DDoS attack we received the following:

Not sure how it's done in China, so if you know - share your ideas on how and where to report them to make sure they're spanked by Chinese Police or at least by their mom.
We contacted Libertyreserve and reported the fraud, but they dont' seem to care - another shady payment provider. Anyway, there's not much more that we'd care to do about it, but wanted to share some details with the Unity crowd. Anyone willing to exercise their detective skills may try to investigate further. Another option is to contact those dullards for some free stress-testing of your infrastructure. Funnily, the first message from them came on 1st of April.
p.s. sometimes I really wonder if somebody actually believes that they could have $10,000 (or any money, for that matter) sent to them in such situation... is it even possible that one could be THAT ignorant?
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.
Can they block the range of IP addresses?
I'm not a computer expert I don't understand why this is happening.
Good thing my web host tmdhosting have anti- DDOS capability. I really don't understand what that is, I'm going to check that on them.
so i advice boonex to block china, these ppl are nt gona give u business but only KICKS ON UR BUTTS..

I wonder if they could be of any help in tracking down the criminals behind these attacks. Whoever it is, has escalated this from a ddos attack to EXTORTION (NOT blackmail)... a crime punishable by imprisonment in most countries. It's time to involve law enforcement.

I see on one of the sites I recently took over, the amount of scamming is absolutely amazing. One could not fathom the ongoing efforts these people make; ESPECIALLY from Nigeria. But its corrupt companies that are the problem. Companies such as these pay sites, or in the case of the website I refer to, VLD which is a RUBBISH platform for poor souls wanting to build see more
Not sure whether this will work in China. If its USA, I am sure, this would work.
I think in China, you will hardly get any response from them because most of their IPs are already in SPAM blacklist. Also, they will have dynamic ip allocation.
I do hope you don't suffer further attacks and that your server is able see more
you are polite people - all is not lost to you - please change activity
I wonder if someone didn't see the attack and just think they could make money - having nothing to do with actually causing it. Anyone can see when Boonex is under attack and send something like this out. When the Lindbergh baby was kidnapped many years ago in the U.S. he received all kinds of ransom notes from people that had nothing to do with it.
I hope you track whoever this is down. It's a sick, twisted world we live in isn't it?
maybe i need a nuke to end those shitty noodle brains...
We love Boonex who fights!!!
I have detailed the outlines of the attack and also the details regarding the extortion issue in a detailed report to the FBI, and it has been taken up by a team who are investigating. Hopefully they will still be working after the Govt shuts it's doors next week.
Anyone who thinks hackers have any basis in social justice is kidding themselves.
Our last attack about a month ago was quite sophisticated
If your interested here is their report which shows the length these arses go to

RioRey assisted #### to mitigate a DDoS attack around the time period of #### through ###, 2011. This attack is technically interesting because it is the first observed event of a new HTTP attack see more
In this attack, the attacker is using a new code that generates GET attacks to more than one victim pages. Attached, is a pcap file: type_11_attack_signature.pcap which captures attack packet sample from these bots.
When you open this file and sort the packets based on Source IP, you will see that the attackers programmed the bots to visit 3 pages, repeatedly and in random sequences. In addition, most bots also varies their User Agent and Country/Language see more
China is starting to colonize Europe (after Africa and South America).
They never die (they give the dying chinese people paperworks to another person)
They don't respect any law.
They don't buy anything from non-chinese people.
And they have infinite amounts of money thanks to brotherhood-mafia pacts.
We'll see worse in the future.
I had a Chinese girlfriend and I love their culture,
but unfortunately, politically they are selfishing using money and every rule we invented to conquer us without doing a war.
I live in Venice and a house here costs like 5 million dollars. Sometimes they came, with boxes of cash, and they just buy. And that's happening in every strategically useful city in Europe.
First commercial-money-gaining structures, and second our industry.
That dos attack for me is the same, they can see more
Can I dispense with this tin foil hat now? Have the death rays finally stopped and been replaced with chow mein noodles? :P
Someone's playing nasty I guess and even access the ICANN data perhaps.
But Indian hackers possible?

Let me know, if you need additional help.
Also, don't respond with no. I'd keep them going asking for more time to get the money to see more
