Summary

A group of cyber criminals claiming to be the "Armada Collective" has stopped sending ransom threats after being exposed as frauds by CloudFlare. The company published an article earlier this week outing the copycat group, which had not carried out any DDoS attacks despite making threats. Since then, another group calling itself the “Lizard Squad” has emerged with similar tactics but is also believed to be a copycat. CloudFlare advises against paying ransoms and encourages companies to use services like theirs to protect against potential attacks.
