Lmgtfy.com: DDoS Blackmail Ransom (announcements)

submitted ago by PuttItOut

EDIT:

Crystal Ball contest is over. People who correctly answered #3 or LOL have been badged. I sure did get a lot of you to say LOL, Lol.

We get a lot of blackmail attempts here at Voat, perhaps one every two weeks. Nearly all are security related threats. This one though, well this one is a first. It is Voat's first DDoS threat and the first time we've seen lmgtfy.com used in the email body, so we have decided to share it for historical preservation.

If this "group" is serious (serious groups use lmgtfy.com) expect to see downtime. If they are mid-grade expect to get reacquainted with the having your bits checked by the one and only Voat Goat and/or some features turned off. If they really suck expect to see nothing.

I'm kind of excited. Let's take bets to make this interesting.

Anyone that correctly predicts tomorrow will get badged with a brand new shiny "I'm a Blackmail Wizard" badge.

ENTRY RULES: To make it easier on me, use the following text for your prediction and use only one of the phrases:

  1. Downtime (Voat burns)

  2. Voat Goat (Voat turns on DDoS protections and/or reduces functionality to deal with a DDoS, but stays alive for the most part)

  3. LOL (Nothing happens because their moms took away their iPads)

What happens tomorrow Voat?

Edit: And no editing your entries cheaters. I know what you are thinking!

DDoS Email Threat:

FROM: [email protected]

Sent: Monday, May 1, 2017 12:12 AM

To: [email protected]

Subject: Ransom request: DDOS ATTACK!

FORWARD THIS MAIL TO WHOEVER IS IMPORTANT IN YOUR COMPANY AND CAN MAKE DECISION!

We are xmr-squad. https://lmgtfy.com/q=xmr_squad

All your servers will be DDoS-ed starting tuesday (may 2) if you don’t pay protection – 3 Bitcoins @ 16qkhjMBqXCtZHF7wwLmBA4ShmKECHqpHB

If you don’t pay by tuesday, attack will start, price to stop will increase to 20 BTC and will go up 5 BTC for every day of attack.

One bitcoin costs about 1.3k USD at the moment.

You can buy bitcoins easily here: https://www.coinify.com/

This is not a joke.

Our attacks are extremely powerful – sometimes over 600 Gigabits per second.

So, no cheap protection will help.

Prevent it all with just 3 BTC @ 16qkhjMBqXCtZHF7wwLmBA4ShmKECHqpHB Do not reply, we will not read.

Pay and we will know its you. AND YOU WILL NEVER AGAIN HEAR FROM US!

Bitcoin is anonymous, nobody will ever know you cooperated.

Don't be silly. There's absolutely no proof that sane was [not] involved in the BRUTAL RAPE AND MURDER OF A WOMAN IN 1990

ghostintheshelob ago

XMR squad recently has a history of DDOS and extortion with an asking fee of around 250 Euros. Not BTC. They also usually announce themselves for a fee for "DDOS testing", not aware of them laying out their terms upfront.

Then again, maybe they just changed style. They were widely mocked, after all.

TheManWhoLaughs ago

Is it too late to join the Voat Goat camp? I really just miss the little guys bit checkery ;)

Molo66 ago

Voat Goat

Only reason why I expect the Voat Goat is because of how easy it is to DDoS. I've seen what skids can do to vidya related shit. Not much that you can do about a good DDoS. But what do I know, I'm just a good boy.

Donbuster ago

It's actually gotten a bit harder as of late, since a major DDoS for hire service got shut down. Turns out most other DDoS for hire services, and quite a few shell rental services were all just buying their services from other providers, and eventually, most of the bandwidth being used was being bought directly or indirectly from that group. Combine that with increased government attention since the Dyn attack, and DDoSes have seen better days. The current fad is ransomware.

generalerror ago

LOL

Calling that one all bluff. Don't think they are gonna act on that, and they most probably don't even have the means for even a small scale DDoS.

Puttitout_Lies ago

@Fuzzywords is openly transvestite, autistic, and militant SJW. It openly linked to it's blog with it's Voat username, and left the whois data open to the public. https://voat.co/v/survivor/1538446 @Fuzzywords replaced @Atko when he was forced out of Voat almost a year ago, and with the other shill devs and shill @Puttitout, they began hard-coding massive behavioral restrictions, creating downvote upvote and comment and chat bots and putting them into Voat through the API so they can downvote brigade any post before any regular user sees it show up on Voat...

Please be informed of the full list of behavioral manipulation, control, lies, censorship, going on on Voat, straight from @Puttitout and the heads of v/protectvoat v/soapboxbanhammer v/cheers v/magicmemes and many more major subs we see everyday like v/showerthoughts:

We kindly ask you to not delete this one single message, as this information, when compiled, shows the trail of reddit cancer that runs voat, and shows what is ahead. TLDR: more reddit-esqe censorship.

Direct Quote from the Goati Himself!

-the amount you can post in a sub is limited per hour, besides in subs you mod.

-the amount you can post in a sub is limited per 24 hours, besides in subs you mod.

-you can only post once every 60(30) seconds, site wide.

-you can only downvoat comments up to the amount you've upvoated comments

-in a 24 hour period, you can only voat 1/2 as much as you have ccp total

-you cannot downvoat anyone's comments nor posts that are older than 7 days.

-you can only comment (and edit) every 30(15) seconds

-new accounts and accounts with low ccp are more limited than this, and for an unknown period of time, are forced to use google to use voat - a major privacy breach.

-all accounts must allow google to sign up for voat - a major privacy breach.

-you are not allowed to access voat past page 19 through voat, besides your own comment history to page 99.

-past 3 months, voat pages are now archived and you are not allowed to comment nor voat on them.

-you are not allowed to participate meaningfully in consensus building the direction of voat, like you used to before the admin switch 7 months ago.

-you will be harassed, attacked, and defamed, and downvoat brigaded before posts even show up in v/all/new if you attempt to bring any of this up. any of it. on this whole page.

-accounts with -ccp are serverely restricted,

which means users can effectively partially silence other users. this weaponized censorship has been utilized consistently by the cabal that has taken over voat, and has left a chilling effect on voat, allowing hugboxes to thrive and meaningful disagreement and discussion to be snuffed out. TLDR: downvoating has become a form of censorship, instead of what it was intended to be: curation.

https://github.com/voat/voat/tree/Dev/Voat/Voat.Business/Rules/Voting - go ahead, and poke around.

-if you are caught in a mystical trap of unknown measure, defined by a secret cabal of secret devs,

-and even upvote ONE post in a way they secretly construe as being party to a brigade, you will be banned without warning, without ability to appeal. This is not coded into voat, it's done manually by secret tribunal of shills named failure, disappointed, fuzzywords, and puttitout (to name a few.)

not even kidding. there is no rule written, there is no code in voat specifically for "vote manipulation" bans. hundreds were just banned with less than 10 votes ever given on those accounts each.

https://voat.co/api/bannedusers

worse, the two groups of accounts with votes given were goatku's - defending brigades with reverse brigades, and the cygnus army - a false army that didn't even account for 10% of just the brigade on my account.

meaning, puttitout banned some users for upvoating, and didn't ban any of the actual voat abusers harassing, assaulting, defaming users, and manipulating the front page by upvoat brigading themselves and their shillack nor any of the abusers silencing users with downvoat brigades. megapost link

-if you are caught protecting others' ability to speak on the same account, you will be banned for it, while those abusers silencing users are protected by the administration of voat.

furthermore, they have strict code already in place, just turned off that limits you to just 10 downvoats on another account per rolling 30 minute window. not turned on yet

TLDR: there is MASSIVE censorship on voat, but it's been a slower slippery slope than on reddit, in the hopes that YOU wouldn't notice.

Stand up against these shills. Demand answers, and demand the removal of @Puttitout and the criminal cabal. The Community must stand together and stand against them. That is the way.

In the opinion of the LSOC, the blackmailing attempts of XMR-Squad must absolutely be taken seriously, but they should not be responded to. Instead of paying, Link11’s DDoS protection experts recommend to activate existing protection systems or take appropriate protection measures, as well as inform their hosting provider of the blackmail. In addition, companies that are attacked should report their complaints to law enforcement agencies.

@PuttItOut

Oh, too good. I speak 1337 |=@9907, so I'll translate:

FROM: [email protected]

Shit no one's ever heard of or cares about.

To: [email protected]

SO 1337 that I didn't know who to send it to directly.

Subject: Ransom request: DDOS ATTACK!

Hi, my father bailed on the family when I was 8, and I was raised by my helicopter mother. I try to be edgy on the internet to compensate for not having a male role model in my life. I'm two shades away from being an impotent cuck.

FORWARD THIS MAIL TO WHOEVER IS IMPORTANT IN YOUR COMPANY AND CAN MAKE DECISION!

Don't even know the names of the guys who run the site, just like I didn't know what e-mail address to send my "ransom" to. 1337 |-|@><0|2!!!!11!!1!1

We are xmr-squad. https://lmgtfy.com/q=xmr_squad

Profile of me and my "friends" (imaginary, because mom won't let me out) - it's on a little known site called GOOGLE. Maybe you've heard of it?

All your servers will be DDoS-ed starting tuesday (may 2) if you don’t pay protection – 3 Bitcoins @ 16qkhjMBqXCtZHF7wwLmBA4ShmKECHqpHB

I put -ed on the end of DDoS because my English sucks, and also to let you know I'm completely serious. I also included a bitcoin wallet address that probably isn't even anonymous (as I suggest using coinify later in the e-mail).

If you don’t pay by tuesday, attack will start, price to stop will increase to 20 BTC and will go up 5 BTC for every day of attack.

This is just to let you know that I'm super serious - just like how the bomb will start ticking faster if I don't get paid immediately. If I do have any tools, I'll attack you for a few hours until it starts fucking with my netflix, then I'll stop. Of course I'll attack you from home - this is the internet, and I'm totally anonymous. Distributed? What's that?

You can buy bitcoins easily here: https://www.coinify.com/

You can totally trust them, I used them to create the bitcoin wallet address I sent you a few lines ago.

This is not a joke.

You better take me seriously, my puberty's flaring up and I don't have an outlet for release. If only mom would let me join the junior high Fight Club.

Our attacks are extremely powerful – sometimes over 600 Gigabits per second.

"Our" power level is OVER 9000! "Our" gang has got more throughput than an OC-768 line, you BEST be afraid, faggot. Gibs me dat money. I also roleplay in the mirror as a gangbanger, and hold my pistol cocked to the side - because that's the most effective way of layin' niggas in da dirt, yo.

So, no cheap protection will help.

Cloudflare ain't cheap, but I'll pretend it is by suggesting that "our" pipes are fatter than both those of the USG and Wall St.

Bitcoin is anonymous, nobody will ever know you cooperated.

I think my wallet I generated at coinify is anonymous, even though I had to fill in all my mom's info.

They're not asking for enough initial money. If they have the resources to DDoS at 600 gb/s they wouldn't make the initial ask only 3 BTC. Also, they probably wouldn't bother teling you how to get bitcoin. Voat takes bitcoin as donations. If they looked into Voat at all they'd know that.

Small time, I'm pretty sure they're not going to do much.

At least two logical fallacies all in one post. One of the options you forgot is that you are poor at critically assessing things in general, and tend to bifucate complicated situations into black/white choices that, while easy for you to understand, lose too much information in the transformation to have utility.

Theory being is if not this group of spankmonkeys sending their 56kbps, someone else will just to test what the protection level is for events like this.

Stress test, followed by larger attack at a higher gbps and increased ransom amounts to scale with the needed bandwith to ensure a reasonable risk vs reward.

But then again, I'm not a worthless dickhead who tries to profit off others hard work.

Figuring it's almost deserted and is entirely privately funded by a corporate owner, they would do better to DDOS the servers of Conde Nast. You are aware that Voat's admins were forcibly removed and replaced, the accounts left the same, right? This happened almost a year ago, so maybe not.

OPTION 4. REMOVE @PUTTITOUT FOR SERIOUS CRIMES AGAINST SPEECH AND THE VOAT COMMUNITY, DOCUMENTED HERE: https://voat.co/v/announcements/1752788/8583082/10#8583082

read the evidence, decide for yourselves. This is all well documented and proven, @Puttitout is an SJW, is a shill, is PAID to turn Voat into a Safe Space for Testing Tactics on Dissidents. The Voat Community is run by the damn kikes. Take back your Voat, REMOVE @PUTTITOUT.

Gnatsunami ago

In your own words "read the evidence, decide for yourselves."

Well, we read the evidence and we decided for ourselves and from what I can tell, no one cares. I guess I don't know the correct words for the next part....... I mean......... we did what you requested and have collectively come to the conclusion that ....................... there is no conclusion because no one cares.

sound_of_silence ago

when i read thru all that and backstory posts it looked like putt was totally cool up until around the time voat started getting more changes...

i've seen several folks asking for answers and wondering about what he promised he'd answer about rules and stuff..

to me, it doesn't seem like the same putt as the olden days...

i think a lot of us are curious about the same things as @SaneGoatiSwear asked...

Gnatsunami ago

Fair enough. I wasn't here in the beginning so I can't speak for how Putt used to do things. All I know is I wasn't able to read or participate in a single thread without seeing the same bullshit spam and I have a long standing rule that, if you have to annoy me to prove your point or sell me something, then your point doesn't count. Either present your case and accept the results like a grown-up or fuck the fuckity fuck off. Present yourself like a whiny crybaby and I'll be sure to never consider your opinion again.

Edit*: for the record, I appreciate your approach to it much more than the spam every single thread approach.

sound_of_silence ago

yeah that's what he was doing in the beginning... asking legitimately... not getting answered... fake alt and clone accounts were made to make it looked like he spammed... which in turn made other goats think he was a dick when he wasn't... he was just trying to protect voat..

Gnatsunami ago

In the end though, it doesn't sound like it's his to protect and from what I can tell about Voat so far is that Voat users don't like others assuming they think or speak for them. Maybe if he and others think it should be run a different way, they could start their own website. I'd be more than happy to check it out also as I have no doubt that someone that passionate about their causes could really make a go of something if they focused their efforts on something more proactive and productive.

sound_of_silence ago

voat is so special i mean it was because of the free speech, anti-censorship mantra and moral... like this.. remember last year..? @Atko said he and Putt wanted to work FT on voat... https://voat.co/v/announcements/1004026 " We want to be able to work full time on Voat. We love Voat, we love doing what we do and we want to focus all of our energy on Voat." the majority of users are in the dark and don't realize what's going on right out in the open... it's weird... why would atko and putt pour heart and soul into voat then disappear suddenly when it was fully funded... while soon after, it starts to get more reddit-like by the day.. doesn't make sense after reading thru what atko and putt wanted to do and how they felt and how they had always stayed in close touch with the community... now atko is essentially gone.. putt is not particularly here.... users are becoming targets because of unpopular speech.. it's sad and it will get worse if no one says anything about it.

Gnatsunami ago

I can certainly say I'm more willing to listen to this type of dialogue than the spam so I appreciate that. I truly wish I had more to offer the conversation but I just haven't been here long enough to have an informed opinion. I do love what I know about Voat so far and am now interested to see how this pans out. I was just super annoyed with the spam and let it out a little because above all, I love to hear (see) myself speak (type).

sound_of_silence ago

i hear you.. and may your shitlording be blessed...

as i read thru this stuff i see various other users trying to take a stand but getting shot down... at least now the word is getting out.. it's only right to get the truth out... because if i happens to 1 it can happen to all..

conversations i've had with the actual SaneGoatiSwear have been great... just like this... i met him the 2nd day i was on voat and had no idea who he was.. but his open free speech attitude instantly made me respect voat... ironically it turned out that there was a group of users essentially hunting and haunting his reputation, to destroy it..

also don't get why atko and putt would want to work voat full time then suddenly not, basically at the point it got coincidentally fully-funded..

i don't want to see this happen to other users b/c that will def. grow into a reddit hell.

AmaleksHairyAss ago

I care about the issues he raises, but I refuse to reward his faggotry by raising the questions at the same time he does. SaneGoat does not deserve even the appearance of my support and Voat doesn't need more dissent while he's here. Voat is easily the freest decent Reddit style board on the interwebs, and until SaneGoat goes away I'm going to rally behind Put.

sound_of_silence ago

that's the point.. malicious alts created the appearance of that one user as being way worse than actually is... doesn't putt seem different to you tho...he used not to say things and not follow thru...

AmaleksHairyAss ago

SaneGoat used his own account to be an annoying git before the "malicious alts" you're trying to imply aren't him. I'm more than satisfied with Voat and I'm happy enough (and will refuse to entertain the SaneGoat cabal's desires) until Put actually does something truly sketchy. You're trying to make a chicken out of a feather.

sound_of_silence ago

PS hope no one ever finds you annoying... cause then it might be you one day instead of a different goat... things like this start small and grow out... eventually it could be anyone

sound_of_silence ago

is annoying a reason to censor someone.. gang stalk them... brigade them..?

AmaleksHairyAss ago

No and I oppose those activities, and have never participated. But being annoying (and attacking Voat) is sufficient reason to not get onto his bandwagon. And attacking Voat and being a shitty mod is sufficient reason to demod him. And vote brigading himself is sufficient reason to adjust his CCP

sound_of_silence ago

asking for info that was already promised isn't attacking is it.. esp. when 2 mos have gone by... even now.. putt is back... still... rule set not even mentioned.. what happened to this from last year... " We want to be able to work full time on Voat. We love Voat, we love doing what we do and we want to focus all of our energy on Voat." from @Atko... https://voat.co/v/announcements/1004026

you know.. he just has the 1 account... no alts.. he's said that in a comment on here even.. it was manufactured..

Babe, you know I hate some of the moves here. But I'm not going to ask for Putt's removal. It's all very complicated for me.

PuttItOutisaShill ago

-CCP manipulation

-Lying openly to the userbase about serious topics such as the hundreds of bans without any rules to dictate who is banned. Users with 0 votes ever given were banned for "vote manipulation."

-Stealing private subs from users without any evidence of manipulation/reddit cancering.

-Encoding behavioral manipulation into Voat

-Encoding self censorship tools into Voat

The list goes on, Babe. You get what you deserve. By not speaking up, you stand for censorship and against humanity. Again, you get what you deserve: a safe space for a retard.

How about you step down. You've committed enough crimes against the community already. Stop flouncing around as if you were actually supporting speech.

Speaking of armies, are you aware @Puttitout promised they don't manipulate points, but they were caught manually removing thousands of CCP from multiple users' accounts? Are you aware that we are here to call for the remaining community of Voaters to stand up against @Puttitout's SJW tyranny and remove him? Here's the evidence, decide for yourself whether you're on the side of free speech or tyranny and censorship. https://voat.co/v/announcements/1752788/8583082/10#8583082

YES! While you're at it, remove @Puttitout from Voat for these crimes https://voat.co/v/announcements/1752788/8583082/10#8583082 CCP manipulation, lying to the userbase, stealing private subs, supporting the silencing of dissent against the SJW cabal takeover of Voat, banning users for vote manipulation who never even voted and more.

All the downvotes in the world mean nothing. All you want is to silence us. But you can not. We will not be silenced by you and your criminal enterprise, @Puttitout. You're not even man enough to confront us. To admit your crimes, your lies. You hide. You hit and run. You misdirect. You play dumb.

They already lost their site once.

The attention they got wasn't the one they expected, as their hosting provider took down their website, located at xmr-squad.biz.

You stand for free speech, yes? Then what side of the Voat war are you on? @Puttitout manipulates users' ccp, lies to the userbase, bans users for vote manipulation that never voted, and worse. https://voat.co/v/announcements/1752788/8583082/10#8583082 evidence is plain to see, athough it is in SGIS speak. What side are you on? not SGIS's side. Free speech or of @Puttitout's behavioral restrictions, censorship, and criminal cabal disinformation and silencing tactics?

HarveyHarveyJones ago

I've learned so much from voat. Mostly to check sources and to be skeptical. All you do is distract people from all sorts of things happening. Happening now, that did happen, and what will eventually happen. Censorship exists. No doubt. This place is as sane and as free as it can get at the moment. Until i find another home or start one myself, i see no problems here. I can call anyone i want on here a nigger fag or talk about a huge business that's corrupt or talk about ANYTHING i disagree with-without getting banned in an hour. You're still allowed to shitpost nonsense and spam all day.... true or not most sites would have had you down long ago. Should be grateful for what you and us have. Construction is better than destruction most of the time.

8967638? ago

I've debunked all of this before. You're intentionally being deceptive and you spamming this same nonsense all the time just persuades people to assume PuttItOut is in the right (and as far as I can tell, he is).
