BulletsIt's sad that people have actually written on their heads in Sharpie to try and stop this. You don't stop whiny children by stuffing their face with more candy >.>.

Well, the DDoS did stop after 4 heads were posted on twitter soo....

It's not a long term solution, but hopefully the FBI will do something. It's just a temp fix.

Just saying that giving them what they want makes them want to do it more because they know you're willing to listen to what they say and give them more attention.

that's less than i pay for my match server plus mumble, and it's this destructive?

edit: how much do you think it costs these sites to host? and it only took $20 to take them down for a while???

If multiple people use it at the same time and spam the websites like crazy, nothing much you can do as far as i'm aware but I don't really know anything about ddosing.

They ask for so little because they know they didn't hack shit. Hacking would imply that they would've been able to get some sensible information such as passwords and user names from twitch(actual hacker groups like lulzsec did that) but instead they just payed for some chinese botnets to ddos the site...

Also, the people writing on their foreheads are just messing around (it's like the ice bucket challenge, people like doing dumb stuff). If these were real demands nobody would give in.
