You might have heard that the company providing Feedly (a news aggregator application) is currently being extorted money by attacking the website. The attackers are DDoS’ing the website to make website and the complete webservice unavailable until Feedly pays money.
While Feedly still refuses to pay ransom they’re battling the third day against the attacks. While DDoS attacks are not a novel crime in the battlefield called internet, Feedly decided to communicate openly about the situation.
The Feedly community obviously rewards the open communication: In a tweet, Feedly announced that “the rate of Pro sign ups has doubled over the last 3 days”. Feedly: Keep up and stand your ground!
