They claim a "0day", which may just be them coopting the term from real hackers, but may also be a legitimate attack that gets around the approval period.
But it appears this is all running from Google's Compute Engine. They can easily shut it down, although they're probably using stolen credit cards, so there's no real traceability there.
- spacefight 12y agoSo the question is, why is Google not shutting them down now.
- Forbo 12y agoHave they taken any action that would be cause for a shutdown? Does Google not allow you to run Tor relays on their service? Genuine questions, I'm not familiar enough with the service.
- spacefight 12y agoI have no proof obviously, but I somehow think that those 3000 new GCE instances have not been registered according to the TOS of Google, most importantly in regard to real name and accountability policies.
- criley2 12y agoStolen credit cards is probably high on the list. You'd think Google wouldn't want to give away free computer resources to these 'hackers' since the banks will almost assuredly take back any mis-gotten money from stolen credit cards.
- chii 12y agodoes it really work like that? i thought the banks had to cop the losses due to fraud.
