I'm one of those people you call "stupid", who "deserves what I get". This is my first time posting here. I've used GD for years. Sure, they try to upsell me, but being in sales, I don't have a problem with giving them a firm "no thanks". If you do, that's your problem, not theirs. They're a business, for goodness sake. Realize that.
And not only my sites are now down, but all the sites I maintain for clients. If some individual (or group) has done this intentionally, then these people are responsible for taking hundreds, maybe thousands of small businesses off line today. They're cutting into their sales, hurting their bottom lines, and if it continues for too long, will probably lead to people being laid off.
So you can sit on your techie high horses and think you're oh so smart, but the fact is, these are real business people doing real business and criminals are hurting them. So you come down on the honest people for signing contracts and paying their bills on time?
