For the record, a company I worked for absolutely used one of the listed sits to test our own network. We used it regularly enough and requested so many new features that the operator (one of the men arrested here) set up <ourcompanyname>.php on there for our specific testing.
- wolverine876 4y agoYou funded a criminal operation? That runs DDoS attacks? On behalf of owners of domains and websites everywhere, thanks a lot.
- TheHappyOddish 4y agoNope. I worked for a company who paid another company to send large amounts of attack traffic to our network. We were a DDoS mitigation provider. It's very hard to test without real world traffic.
- wolverine876 4y agoThose payments funded criminals and crimes. 'It's hard to do it otherwise' is not a defense.
- TheHappyOddish 4y agoI'm not defending anything, although you clearly seem on the attack. I worked for the company, I was not the decision maker. Many of us have worked at companies where decisions are made that are questionable or unethical, sometimes even illegal (although I don't believe this would have been illegal in my country at the time).
- wolverine876 4y agoI've never worked someplace that paid criminals to do anything, and I'd resign before I did it. For one thing, who knows what my personal liability is. Much more importantly, it's plainly the wrong thing to do, and my society and community are in my hands as much as anyone else's.
- TheHappyOddish 4y agoWell thn, congratulations for being a better human than me. Some of us live in a world of moral greys, glad to hear life is black and white for you.
- wolverine876 4y agoI'm responsible for the consequences of my actions and the complexity of the world is not an excuse. Regardles, this question doesn't seem to fall in a grey area; they are obviously criminals who harm others; the company that paid them was not trying to fend off starvation, but simply wanted to test some software.
