The only thing we're certain of is that we will never negotiate with criminals, and we will not succumb to blackmail.
That would only set us up as an easy target for future attacks and fund future criminal endeavors.

Update on why the DDoS is still hitting us today:
Criminals have laid siege to the Buzzsprout network using what's called a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS). This attack was launched together with a blackmail attempt that sought to have us pay to avoid this assault.
