On August 21, our official website iTrue.io shut down due to a DDoS attack.
With no further hesitation, the intruder (henceforth known as “Mr. X”) contacted one of our members, pinpointing some of our vulnerabilities.
The conversation started initially with good intentions, but the intruder’s true intentions came to light as he demanded 0.2 BTC from iTrue, threatening to increase the sum over time.
After a few hours, our team was able to remove the DDoS attack and strengthen the vulnerabilities on the website, thus preventing any such attacks in the future. We have since ceased correspondence with the intruder, but would like to publicly address his behaviour here:
“Dear Mr. X, this sort of action is considered illegal activity. However, we are extremely thankful for your kind and free assistance in testing and strengthening our website. Our growing IT team has successfully protected the website and our followers, and can ensure such attacks will no longer be possible.”
To all our users:
“No data has been stolen due to the breach as it was a harmless, minor hack that simply caused our website to shut down for a few hours. You can continue to contribute, as your money and data are safe and sound.”
