a very well known group that has been in the news lately. Recently they've threatened to carry out a major DDoS attack if they are not paid by a deadline which is approaching. They've performed an attack of a smaller magnitude to prove that they're serious.
bear in mind that if you pay a ransom like this: 1. you're opening up a bank account for them to dip into whenever they feel they need more money. 2. you're perpetuating the problem of ddos-or-ransom by turning it into a viable business. If you believe that someone who issues a ransom threat will stop if you pay them off, you're smoking crack. Nick
