Good Evening, I am reaching out to all ISP's (an none ISP's if relevant) to identify if anyone has been subjected to a DDOS attack from a group called Shinbilx [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
In Brief the attack involved receiving an email from the group asking for payment, around £3500 in bitcoin. If no payment is received the group starts the DDOS against the associated IP addresses linked to the company. In the case of ISP's this could be every end user. IP addresses, email addresses etc, probably identified by a RIPE enquiry. This looks to last a number of days causing major impact to businesses, both in disruption and financial. So far, one mitigation defence which seems to have an effect on the DDOS is Upstream Scrubbing. Currently I am looking to identify businesses affected by this to identify the reach of the attack. To facilitate contact my contact details are below. Kind Regards Chris COUPLAND Detective Constable 2245 Ba (Hons) | CISMP | CompTia Sec+ | CSTA | CSTP Cyber Crime Investigation Team Specialist Command HUMBERSIDE POLICE [cid:[email protected]]01482 220303 (Ext. 3303) [cid:[email protected]]07464 983988 [cid:[email protected]][email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [cid:[email protected]]@HP_Cyber [cid:[email protected]]Humberbeat Cyber Crime Internet Email should not be treated as a secure means of communication.
