IB,

You live down the road. Come over and see it with your own eyes.

On the other hand : you are aware we are hosted by a state of the art tech facility. Do you really think we waited to be attacked before taking countermeasures ?

You are formally invited to come over to check with your own eyes.

Thank you.

IB,
The Royal feed has been very sporatic all morning ... so maybe the attack isn't steady yet?

IB-
WTF's side are you on? Royal's or the attackers? What sportbook are you at (and what is their IP range so that the attackers can bother your ass, instead of Royal)?

 

[RoyalSports+]

IB,

With all due respect :

1) Please carefully read this mail and tell me if this is a love letter :

Dear Sportsbook operator,

Your site has been targeted for an attack this weekend. This may
already be happening as this email is being sent. You have a flaw in your network that will allow this attack to take
place. Once the attack starts, no one will be able to find your
website. You have 2 choices. You can ignore this email and try to keep your
site up, which will cost you tens of thousands of dollars in lost
wagers and customers, or you can send us $30k by Western Union to
make sure that your site experiences no problems. If you send the
$30k your site will be protected not just this weekend, but for the
next 12 months. This will let you enjoy business with no worry. If you choose not to pay for our help, then you will probably not be
in business much longer, as you will be under attack each weekend
for the next 20 weeks, or until you close your doors. You can always choose to wait, see what happens, and then contact us
for our help when you realize you can't do it yourself, however,
then it will cost you more and your site will still be down. The
choice is yours as we await your response
P.S. The sites that were attacked and paid last weekend are happy
that they paid and are protected and look forward to a profitable football season.

P.S.P.S. Let's do it qiuck and quiet. Or we will close all forums
you will post on.

b) We will not discuss Tech countermeasures in public since this may give the extortionists a clue on which countermeasures we are deploying.

Once again : come over and you see with your eyes.

Java - I'm NOT on the side of the attackers...Nor am I a sportsbook.

Hang in there, and most important, don't be stupid like the dumb fuk spinless weasels, who paid off these pukes.

Use tech to fight tech - You're gaining my respect here.

A special Kudos to our Techies and Data Center personnel that have properly responded to this morning's attack.

Royal's website might experience some down time later this afternoon. We appreciate our customers patience and understanding.

We have deployed full phone capacity and waived the wager limits for phone bets to ensure continuity of service.

Joey,

We'd rather go back to phone wagering only not to pay these criminals.

You have my word.

Roberto:

Understood, and agree 100% with you here.

Isn't it nice that one of your high profile chickenshit neighboors paid those pukes?

All that does is make it tougher on the next guy to say No.

This is to inform that Royal Sports is back to its full web capacity.

Royal,
Nice work.
Do you anticipate this to be a permanent solution? Or are further 'sucessful' attacks likely?
