You are welcomed with a command of hackers ZeleniyHach

We hold a huge network of Distributed Denial Of Service Attack, allowing to suspend any web site. We have been watching xxxxxxxx.COM and were able to find out that you have spent pretty money much for its advancement and we want to to offer you to spend a little more yet. Just as little as 200 bucks as a voluntary donation to our fund will keep your web site away from DDOS attack.

200 bucks is not so much also will help you to avoid greater problems in the future.

FOR DULLS..!!! IF YOU DO NOT OFFER TO US 200 bucks WE WILL KILL YOUR WEB SITE!

Unfortunately, we accept only Webmoney Paymer Cheks, so make sure to get your fat asses out and without assistance find out how to transfer money into it. We give you 48 hours. If after 48 hours we will not get 200 dollars, there is one more 0 will be added to 200 bucks, i.e. 2000 bucks and so on until you come to reason.

Stingy pays twice )

When you are ready, just send the check as your response to this message.
In subject matter of the letter specify the domain with greater letters, it is a lot of you We are the one, respect our work.

Respectfully, Top Manager of ZeleniyHach project.

Yup, see thread http://www.dnforum.com/f26/threatened-hackers-any-recourse-thread-424826.html

Other than reporting them to proper authorities, ignore them and do not respond to them.

I have heard nothing from them since.

Thanks. I see the thread you forwarded is not indexed in google as it is in the legal section...I planned to ignore.

I am getting more than 1000 a day.. Started more than 14 weeks ago. They just threaten people, nobody has actually been DDOS'ed as far as I know.

I got the advice to setup a filter in Cpanel.. In the same stroke I discovered my shared hosting has spam assasin installed. Filters work fine, so go for that option.

Just another mass message. Pay it no mind.

By giving them any proof that you exist, they'll continue to threaten you.

Math fail, adding another zero makes 200 to 2000 , tenth fold. :smilewinkgrin:
