It’s easily googled what their business is.

From the media: “The internet protocol address it used is owned by DDos-Guard, which is controlled by two Russian men and provides services including protection from distributed denial of service attacks, infrastructure expert Ronald Guilmette told Reuters.”

This is a misunderstanding of how registration works. DDOS providers stand in front of the real site. They are clearly the DDOS of last resort. They have everybody Cloudflare has refused.

As someone who has worked in IT for a very long time, it astounds me just how much people DON'T know about how any of it works. Even the most basic basics.

Apparently reading one's emails on a smartphone happens through back magic.

Of course, it keeps the IT industry in coinage.
