If you can help us identify the extortionists in a way that leads to a successful police report, you will receive five bitcoins, with gratitude.CCN logo

We would need to know the following:

[Spoetnik]

Same attacker that hit github

i bet the same as who hit Cryptsy recently & RarBG the Torrent site.

also is CCN the abbreviation for the web site offering the bounty ? (OP assumed we all knew)

clever advertising the site ? LOL

[Jeremycoin]

So, CCN got an email telling them that someone would hack their website. Is that right?
And the extortionists ask 2 BTC, that apparently CCN has more Bitcoin. They even will give 5 BTC to someone that can find the extortionists
What a stupid extortionists, he should've ask more.

[CC1]

I emailed CCN with all the information I found.

Interesting bounty,but also difficult job..they maybe anonymous,and unlocated

[CC1]

From what I found, he's 18 lmao
Claims he's a hacker but knows basic vb

[USB-S]

If he has targeted multiple sites, I wonder if any of them has payed up. Would be a pity having all of this computing power and not getting any money for it.

I hope that he's at least mining some shitcoins with his botnet.

[Kprawn]

A lot of work for such a small bounty... I would have imagined a site like CCN would post a bit bigger bounty.. It is strange that a Bitcoin user, would attack a Crypto Currency

website, but it has happened before... so I guess they just following the money. In some countries this is seen as industrial espionage, and it is taken very seriously. I hope this

guy know the consequences of his actions. They also attract the attention of those 3 letter agencies in more serious cases.
