I remember reading an article that talked about groups that would launch DDoS attacks on commercial sites that depended on uptime. The group would then contact the site owner demanding money to call the attack off. Has anyone ever had that happen before?

 

Yes many websites did faced it and thats not something new,it does exist for years
Hopefuly one day a legal action will be taken against those groups

 

ummm...

You may give a try with DDoS Protection companies ;-) when you face something like this !

 

limit syn connections to 10. simple and effective with the medialayer script.

 

There are only two things you can do.

1. Wait it out
2. Contact your upscale provider and have them put in a blackhole filter

Both are pretty equally effective.
