>War wohl angeblich eine nord-koreanische Hackergruppe namens Lazarus Group. Die haben sich in letzter Zeit wohl auf kleinere ISPs eingeschossen. Gerade eben kam die Erpresser-Mail. Sie wollen bis nächsten Mittwoch einen Bitcoin haben, sonst knüppeln sie uns mit 2Tbps nieder.

>Your whole network will be subject to a DDoS attack starting in 7 days, on Wednesday next week. (This is not a hoax, and to prove it right now we will start a small attack on your DNS servers that will last for about 2 hours. It will not be a heavy attack, and will not cause you any damage, so don't worry at this moment. We are attacking you with 10 out of 117 of our servers, so do the math.) There's no counter measure to this, because we will be attacking your IPs directly and our attacks are extremely powerful (peak over 2 Tbps)
>This means that your websites and other connected services will be unavailable for everyone. Please also note that this will severely damage your reputation among your customers who use online services.
>And worst of all you will lose Internet access in your offices too.
>We will refrain from attacking your network for a small fee. The current fee is 1 Bitcoin (BTC). It's a small price for what will happen when your whole network goes down. Is it worth it? You decide!
>We are giving you time to buy Bitcoin if you don't have it already.
>If you don't pay the attack will start and the fee to stop will increase to 2 BTC and will increase by 1 Bitcoin for each day after the deadline that passed without payment.
Und was macht ihr jetzt (grob) wenn ich fragen? Sowohl technisch wie auch strafrechtlich würd mich das interessieren. Ist es technisch überhaupt möglich das entsprechend zu verhindern, mal von der Abschaltung eurer Dienste abgesehen ;)?
