Back Americas Cardroom Suffers DDoS Attacks

Americas Cardroom reported a "pretty large" series of Distributed Denial of Service attacks over the weekend Sunday.

The unknown attackers demanded an undisclosed ransom to be paid in Bitcoins. The attacks wreaked havoc on the Million Dollar Sunday afternoon tournament resulting in a loss of $300,000 according to CEO Phil Nagy. The company did not pay the ransom and managed to deter the attacks.

"You can't give in to terrorism," said Nagy said on Twitch live streaming channel. A cached stream is available here.
