The server interrupted my post. I guess it was too long.

"If the fact of a DDoS attack by a secret service gets some independent proof, it would mean that Britain will become the first state incriminated in staging a cyber-attack, internationally recognized as unlawful."


Nope, USA already owns that title with Obama's confession of the Stuxnet virus attack on Iran which physically destroyed equipment: centrifuges and chemical handling equipment controlled by Siemens computer-controllers.

Besides that, according to cyber experts, a DDOS attack takes down an entire server

But that's the way it works... What do the criminial attackers care if it hurts a few others. The folks running the server hosting Ihub required Ihub to ensure that they fix the issue and that it wouldn't affect their other costumers. That suggest to me that they think that Ihub was the target of the attack.

I highly doubt the British had anything to do with it. Ihub is not an enemy of Britain. It was more like a disgruntled penny stock scammer of which there are many.
