I believe that most people pay. It is perceived to be cheaper to pay off the extortionists than to mitigate the DoS attack.

- Shenglong 14y agoI've been put into a similar situation before, but I couldn't find any convincing evidence that I wouldn't be extorted in the future, even if I did pay. What's the logic behind this? After all, DDoSers probably aren't upstanding citizens.
- tisme 14y agoPaying an extortionist is the one way in which you guarantee that you'll be extorted in the future. Think of it as entering into a subscription arrangement.
