I always wonder what these groups would do, if the roles was swapped. Would they pay the group who is doing it to them?
Probably not, but they're not public targets and are always cowards hiding behind their computers anonymously. You can't give into these guys - they're essentially cyber terrorists and blackmailers. Websites just need to step up their security and ddos protection. I mean, there must be some ways to stop it or protect yourself. How does this forum do it?
