@jwildeboer time to Streisand effect my dudes

@espectalll @jwildeboer do you have the text of the article anywhere so i can help with that and repost it

@sylveon @jwildeboer https://www.scribd.com/document/441601742/Forensic-News-Article-12-3

btw Deutsche Bank has addressed it I guess https://twitter.com/ScottMStedman/status/1213226599643934722

@espectalll ah, a website where you have to make an account and probably pay to download a PDF of a webpage @jwildeboer

@espectalll @jwildeboer IDK why but this audio gives me 'Portal' vibes

@InRustWeTrust @jwildeboer sounds quite like GlaDOS, it loves you just as much

@espectalll @jwildeboer At least GLaDOS is sassy as hell and utterly terrifying, PayPal doesn't even have that going for itself

@jelutz77 @jwildeboer He said Bluehost said the website would go back up after a few hours, so it rather sounds like a DDoS attempt to me. (If they had really done it on ppurpose, they wouldn't get it back up afterwards)

I'm also willing to give the benefit of the doubt for PayPal. Now we'll have to see how the story with them unfolds, but it is possible people just mass reported the website which caused a takedown. We'll know for sure once we see if PayPal is willing to get them back.

@NekoSock @jwildeboer True. Maybe not Bluehost then.

@NekoSock @jelutz77 @jwildeboer

Doesn't even need to be a DDoS, Slashdotting would be enough to cause this especially for a breaking news announced on Twitter)...

@LienRag @NekoSock @jelutz77 slashdotting is old-school and hardly noticed in traffic (been there, had that a few times in the last year). Being hit by Hacker News is the new slashdot :)

@LienRag @NekoSock @jelutz77 but it was an attack, not just traffic. They are now behind cloudflare, so can see more data.

@jwildeboer @NekoSock @jelutz77

Oh, OK, thanks for the information.

@jwildeboer I checked. This Scott Stedman is actually a real journalist. oof
