That is terrible what can happen to these solid off shore sites with this cyber attack crap. I hope that you do catch these people and prevent this in the future.

While Im happy to see books talking about catching these crooks and banding toghether I wished the same sort of efforts were taken when off shore books like Camelot, NAB, Aces Gold, and others went out stealing the players money. I know a few sites helped out with camelot but nobody when NAB went out. I have heard stories that some of the same people, bookies, investors, managers, owners, are with other shops, working other sites. I would have loved to catch these crooks who took millions with them and really hurt us players.


Where was the call for Scotland YArd, goverments, FBI, etc to catch these crooks? That did more damage to the players and this industry than a cyber attack taking a site down for a day or two ......

Message: LEts all band together to stop all that is wrong with this industry, hackers, scamers, bonus hores, cheating shops that dont honor a posted number, no pay shops, US regualtions that try to stop this indsutry, etc. etc. Everything.

VERY SAD DAD THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN TO A STAND UP BOOK LIKE HOLLYWOOD WITHOUT RAMIFICAIONS. THESE GUYS HAVE SOME BIG BALLS THAT SHOULD BE SMASHED BY SOMEBODY.

Sorry for the troubles Hollywood. I assume more will come, but we do not negotiate demands like this.

[eh]

These guys are serious, they have 50 to 200 megs of bandwidth at their disposal. That much power can fry alot of equipment. I hope enough books and ISP's get together and put at stop to this s_h_i_t. I'm a tech at a book and I am getting ready for my turn.

I hope your ISP has your back, cause you can't go this alone.

Hollywood-

Please call them "hackers" or "extortionists". Everybody throws the word "terrorist" around so much it has lost its real meaning. If you tell someone to F***-off, you get accused of making terroristic threats or some other trumped up charge.

A terrorist is someone with a particular social/political agenda that carries it on in some para-military manner. Of course, one man's terrrorist is another man's 'freedom fighter'. I bet the Brits would have considered the colonists at the Boston Tea Party to be terrorists as well, but since we won the Revolution, they are heroes.

Bonus whores and scammers are way worse than denial of attacks and they are the real threat to the industry.

Hang in there Hollywood, the players support you guys 100% on not giving in to this sort of nonsense. Thank you for the updates!

 

[harrington]

Boy and you were behaving so well for a time jj

Hollywood my condolenses...good job in trying to catch these lowlifes...

Hollywood - Is this strictly a denial of service attack ? Can you assure us that your databases and customer accounts are secure ?
Thank you.

 

[truthteller]

If it's a denial of service attack, then all the data is secure. DOS attack is different from hacking.

 

[ladyoracle]

truthteller..i'm very much aware of that fact; i just want a reassurance from Hollywood..

 

[truthteller]

You have reassurance from me. That should be enough.

 

[HollywoodSportsbook]

Thanks a whole bunch for the support guys. Right at this moment, we're using every resource we have to make this stop.
