When you rely on a news aggregator for your cases….

The research staff at the BLUZ (meaning Rachel and I) rely on web notifications from several state and federal courts to find our land use-related court cases.  Ever since Google pulled the plug on Google Reader I’ve been using Feedly as my news aggregator for to track these notifications.  I highly recommend it; however, this was posted by Feedly this morning:

2:04am PST – Criminals are attacking feedly with a distributed denial of service attack (DDoS). The attacker is trying to extort us [sic] money to make it stop. We refused to give in and are working with our network providers to mitigate the attack as best as we can.

We are working in parallel with other victims of the same group and with law enforcement.

Criminal extortion is one thing, but when it affects the timely delivery of land use news, well, now it’s serious!
