Large DDoS, small extortion

[amitchell at isipp.com (Anne P. Mitchell, Esq.)]

The FBI is all over this, I was coordinating between the agency and several of those first attacked, for a while, and am still in touch with the agency.  There is also a private group of the C-level folks of those orgs that have been attacked, who are talking and sharing amongst themselves.

For anybody here who has been targeted, contact me offlist (amitchell at isipp.com) if you would a) like to be put in touch with the agency contact who is dealing with this (which I highly recommend) and b) if you'd like an invitation to the private group.

I'm on digest, so won't see replies to the list very quickly.
