Racketeering is easier and more profitable than actual services.

Shocking how often "gatekeepers" fall to the temptation.

Speaking of racketeering, it's an enlightening experience to search for "stresser" or "booter" providers (euphemisms for DDoS-as-a-Service) and look up their NS records to see who helping them ward off competitors DDoS attacks and keep their origin servers hidden. 9 times out of 10 it's Cloudflare, with the few exceptions being DDoS-Guard, who more or less specialize in facilitating crime.

    I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if DDOS protection providers were using DDOS on their prospective customers via proxy. Problem, reaction, solution. Did you pay your "protection" money this month, Luigi?
