This is the STUPIDEST thing I've read in the forums in a long, long time.

No one can prevent a DDOS attack. When it starts, it is up to the ISP to stop it-there is VERY little that any book can do on their end.

This is an attempt to extort $30K from each book. Assuming that the ISP's have half a clue, they will eventually catch whoever is pulling this off. I read one rumor of it being the former owner of Unified Gaming-who has apparently pulled similar crap in the past.

Could the books post the extortion letters? (with full header and IP address info). Admittedly, the hackers probably covered their IP address tracks, but maybe have left some other clue. Maybe their writing styles will indicate native language or they use a phrase that has been used by a forum poster.

Java,

They cannot show you guys the extortion letter because it explains what has happened to the sportsbook in terms of confidential information lost which includes credit card numbers, names and addresses of all players, mostly everythng.

Thats it in a nutshell, these hackers did not just shut down a certain book , they took their info as well.
 

eh

you are wrong sir. I would post them but it is not up to me, I am not the owner. So far I have gotten four emails, no of which contain anything related to a breach of any sort.

Gentlemen:

Alow us to satisfy your curiosity. The following is the letter we first received:

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>From: Kevin Mitnik [mailto:weekendattackers@yahoo.com]
Sent: Friday, September 19, 2003 8:46 AM
To: info@hollywoodsportsbook.com
Cc: cs@hollywoodsportsbook.com; help@hollywoodsportsbook.com; accounts@hollywoodsportsbook.com; banking@hollywoodsportsbook.com; manager@hollywoodsportsbook.com
Subject: Under attack


Dear Sportsbook operator,

Your site has been targeted for an attack this weekend. This may already be happening as this email is being sent.
You have a flaw in your network that will allow this attack to take place. Once the attack starts, no one will be able to find your website.
You have 2 choices. You can ignore this email and try to keep your site up, which will cost you tens of thousands of dollars in lost wagers and customers, or you can send us $30k by Western Union to make sure that your site experiences no problems. If you send the $30k your site will be protected not just this weekend, but for the next 12 months. This will let you enjoy business with no worry.
If you choose not to pay for our help, then you will probably not be in business much longer, as you will be under attack each weekend for the next 20 weeks, or until you close your doors.
You can always choose to wait, see what happens, and then contact us for our help when you realize you can't do it yourself, however, then it will cost you more and your site will still be down. The choice is yours as we await your response

p.s. The sites that were attacked and paid last weekend are happy that they paid and are protected and look forward to a profitable football season.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

We need to make something really clear, because our interest is to be as forth coming as possible. We have no facts to prove that other shops paid. It might be one more thing these scumbags are saying, just to make it easier for them to collect the money. And in the remote case that they did pay, we ARE still NOT paying.

***IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR MIAMIMAN & THE REST OF OUR CUSTOMERS***

We have always taken all personal and confidential information out of our customers' data base. We manually write all this info in paper and file it. Old fashioned? Perhaps, but at least we are now sure that NO HACKER will EVER get his hands on our data base. We have been doing this for years now.

That's actually the reason why the list of Hollywood players has never been for sale either. Even if we were to be hacked, they wouldn't get ANYTHING.

Besides, a DDoS attack simply means unavailability of band with. Not a breach of security.

Please, my man. Who actually uses credit cards these days?

Thanks for posting the letter! I knew a DDoS attack is totally different that hacking confidential info - though not at your book, I'm not worried about other books either in this respect.
