The cost to actually do an attack like this, not just one attack but several is high, we have 2 teams working on tracking down the attacker (at an incredible expense of course!). Authorities are also following leads and slowly step by step getting closer. The people we have protecting the server now are the best by far and have dealt with attacks on EBAY in the past.

This type of attack is obviously NOT a kid having fun, according to the people we have who have dealt as mentioned with BIG takes before this is the most persistent and most advanced attack they have seen...

Pissed off ex employee? We would say NO, we have only ever let 2 people go.

Pissed off affiliate who we canned for doing fraud, the cost of this attack is too much.

So who does that leave??

BTW before hosts and other people suggest this attack is cheap and easily avoidable let me guarantee you it isn't , we have had at least 5 of the top hosts on this board try and stop or filter with no success etc etc.
