Well, maybe this site will help:
ddosforhire.net
They're a lovely recommendation/review site that lists a few dozen DDoS-for-hire sites. Take a random look at who hosts the individual sites' DNS.
Their business is fundamentally a shake-down racket, disguised as a free-speech defender.
- skrebbel 4y agoWait, you’re suggesting they had board room discussions where they consciously, actively chose to protect and encourage ddos-for-hire sites because the threat of ddos attacks helps keep cloudflare in business?

- creeble 4y agoI'm saying that, despite frequent reports of DDoS-for-hire sites using CF for protection, they do nothing. And they do nothing because they profit from their existence. Again, this isn't free speech -- it is the antithesis of free speech. That's called hypocrisy. And yes, of course they cooperate with the FBI on specific cases (or, at least one specific case) of DDoS-for-hire prosecution. Not only because they are compelled to do so by law, but because they are the only company that can identify where the perpetrators are actually hosted.
- joepie91_ 4y agoI don't know whether they did, but it certainly wouldn't be unprecedented in the DDoS mitigation industry.
