Quote from: Trappy on July 10, 2013, 06:55 amDepending on how much was paid, as long as it was below the lost fees from the site being down or laggy and reduced in services, was the best choice.Economics of scale can be some fucked up shit.If the same entity came back, despite being paid off once, the chance of getting paid again would be highly reduced.The problem with this is that you're assuming there's a prohibitive factor on repeating the attack. There's a small cost involved, and the fact that you can't be doing it to somebody else because your resources are already allocated... but otherwise, there's nothing to stop them.There's no real cost, the risk is equal so that wouldn't hinder their decision any, and they would have found a target that paid once. I dunno... just saying that it sounds like it'd be worth a second try, at least to me.
