The founder of Path is a young man named Marshal Webb. I wrote about Webb back in 2016, in a story about a DDoS defense company he co-founded called BackConnect Security LLC. On September 20, 2016, KrebsOnSecurity published data showing that the company had a history of hijacking Internet address space that belonged to others.

Less than 24 hours after that story ran, KrebsOnSecurity.com was hit with the biggest DDoS attack the Internet had ever seen at the time. That sustained attack kept this site offline for nearly 4 days.

Fuckin’ yikes. Some serious skeletons clearly visible for everyone to see if that’s the echo to the call.

Edit: <Redacting this edit so as to not spread misinfo, a website I thought was down is, in fact, still up, just sans www. subdomain>

Double edit: spare a buck for Internet Archive if you can, y’all, we need this shit if we’re going to hold civilization together.
