BTCC suffered a DDoS extortion attack and the ransom increased to 30 Bitcoins

According to the topic discussion on Reddit, a BTCC user claimed to have received a message from a BTCC spokesperson, saying that this attack was more intense than the first one and caused the website to crash. BTCC said that the DDoS network prevention service deployed by the company was temporarily unable to handle the large-scale attack on the website, but BTCC quickly upgraded to a better prevention plan. During the attack, the attacker sent another ransom letter, demanding a payment of 10 bitcoins (about 26,000).

Because BTCC refused to pay again, the attacker launched another attack, which only caused delays and failures in some BTCC services. The attacker then released another email: " We will continue the attack until you pay. The current ransom price is 30 bitcoins. Better pay it before you go bankrupt. Mwa ha ha!"
