Though the DDoS attacks have caused us little downtime, we wanted to share with the bitcoin community and our many players that we have experienced many intermittent DDoS attacks over the last six weeks. Many are preceded or followed by extortion demands such as the following. We wanted to share our story because perhaps there are many similarities that we can find that may lead to who or what groups are performing these attacks. At no point were our accounts or security in jeopardy. Following are some of the messages. We appreciate your responses and thank you.
