| This made BBR popular
I just did a google search on Pluto Data Nicosia and the first 5 of 980 listings has BroadbandReports.com listed first on the article. I am wondering if who ever was behind it was also behind the outage that we had here not too long ago.

Easy. Whoever is behind the Pluto Data scam surely doesn't want people becoming aware of the scam. They'd rather that folks just ignore those charges and let them go through. That won't happen if everyone is warned to be on the lookout for Pluto Data charges.
The Pluto Data scammers could have launched a DDoS attack (or used some of their scammed money to hire someone to launch an attack) with the hopes of stopping BBR from spreading the news of the scam.
I'm not saying that that's what happened I really have no clue) or that I have any evidence to support it (I don't), but it is a possibility.

| It may be, but it was a stupid and fruitless one. A couple days downtime, so friggin what? It just makes more people think that they may be behind it even if they weren't.

| I agree that it was a stupid and fruitless activity no matter who did it. I hope whoever performed the DDOS attack is caught, but knowing the state of these things it'll probably be tossed in a pile with the other thousands of DDOS attacks and never looked into.
