ZDNet : DDoS extortion-themed scam circulating

"Symantec has intercepted a scam attempt, relying on scare tactics in order to trick domain owners into transferring virtual money, or face a distributed denial of service attack against their web site." ~ Dancho Danchev

I must say that bad engrish is back in these letters. I love how bad it is. I find this scam somewhat amusing in how simplistic it actually is. Now I do not want to see anyone hacked or any major site go down. I just laugh at reality. Check out this article.
The last funny thing to me is that it is Symantec that got the word and is passing it along.
