aa419 back, CastleCops under paypal reputation attack

aa419 is back again, though still under DDoS attack, according to their web site on a CastleCops server. CastleCops itself has been and is still under DDoS attack. As of 18.September they are down, but supposedly because of a hardware failure, according to a comment posted in a washingtonpost blog. In that blog they also report that CastleCops is now subject to a different type of attack. The crooks use hijacked PayPal accounts to make donations to CastleCops. To users this makes it look like CastleCops are the crooks. CastleCops is working with the FBI, and they are working on returning the defrauded money.

Cyberwar for real.
