About LinkBacksNot much to say here. Read more from FlushDraw: http://www.flushdraw.net/news/misc/t...ite-extortion/Last month’s arrest in Bosnia and Herzegovena of two individuals connected to the cyber-crime group DD4BC have been definitely linked to a series of DDoS extortion attacks over the past 18 months, many of which were targeted at online-gambling firms. PokerStars and Betfair are among the various companies to have been targeted by the extortionists, who typically sought modest and largely-anonymous payments made in Bitcoins in exchange for ceasing the attacks.

I sincerely hope they also make some connections to others as well as get some ip addresses of some of the command and control servers.
