Further to that, and I would suggest it should be part of the overall =
discussion here. It appears the IPv4 IP block my VM is in is not =
currently advertised on the world route table. I assume hostus.us's =
transit provider has dropped their ipv4 BGP to save themselves. This is =
really the ultimate reward for the extortionists as they don't even need =
to sustain the DDOS to attack their target. While I see the transit =
providers point of view, it=E2=80=99s a pretty shitty situation for =
their customer, and their customers/customers.
