So we’re entering week two of an unusual prolonged and large BehindMLM DDOS attack. The most recent was a particularly butthurt attempt, spanning a 17-hour window over the last rolling 24-hour period.

Speculating who is butthurt can be fun but there’s never really any way of knowing. Best to just mitigate and get on with things.

Data logs are kept and monitored at the security level above BehindMLM but whether that results in anything is not something I’m involved in. [Continue reading…]

Serial fraudster Shavez Ahmed Siddiqui, aka Shavez Anwar, has managed to get WP Engine to disable access to Danny de Hek’s website.

BitPay Mining fails to provide ownership or executive information on any of its websites.

BitPay Mining previously operated from three known website subdomains on the domain “ht-88.com” (private registration last updated on June 9th, 2025):

1. bit048.ht-88.com (already abandoned)
2. bit003.ht-88.com (already abandoned)
3. bit048.ht-88.com (already abandoned)

Given the “bitXXX” formula used to spin up these BitPay Mining website subdomains, there are likely others.

Currently BitPay Mining is operating from the subdomains:

1. h1137.jckx.net – private registration last updated on April 24th, 2025
2. bit019.22wqq.com – private registration last updated on April 16th, 2025

Again, these appear to be another set of formulaic subdomains created on primary domains. There are likely other BitPay Mining subdomains and domains not referenced here.

As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money. [Continue reading…]
