> **[Feedly And Evernote Go Down As Attackers Demand Ransom](https://www.forbes.com/sites/jaymcgregor/2014/06/11/feedly-and-evernote-go-down-as-attackers-demand-ransom/)** > > Update: 11:30am (June 13th) PST: "The second line of defence is up and wave #2 has been neutralized. You should be able to access feedly via feedly.com, feedly mobile apps and third party apps. These criminals are... Feedly and Evernote are down due to a DDOS attack, with the instigators apparently demanding money to end it. On the one hand, we’re officially living in a William Gibson novel. Which, honestly, kinda cool. On the other hand, FUCK you, whoever you are. Fuck you long, fuck you hard, fuck you in the urethra with a twelve inch horse cock. This is some penny-ante, bush league, poorly-thought-out and utterly inane bullshit. Yes, congratulations, you’re disrupting a revenue stream, and that sucks hard for Feedly. But they won’t lost any sleep over it. Or at the very least, they won’t lose customers, and won’t lose advertisers. Their customers are inconvenienced, certainly–I have to go all the way to the original website to see my funny cat pictures now!–and there is a nonzero number of people who use Evernote for important shit. But it’s still, by and large, merely an inconvenience. And you’re going to be found, cuffed, and thrown into Federal Pound-Me-In-The-Ass Prison. This high-profile Bonnie and Clyde bullshit is fun and all, but won’t net you a single plug bitcoin. Idiots. ---

Sure, but it’s a pretty small urethra. ---

A Shetland horse cock, if you will. ---

Are we condoning prison rape now? I thought there was a sort of moratorium on that kind of thing, _vis-a-vis_ wishing evil on people. On the other hand, I certainly hope you are right that they reap nothing but misery from this lame attempt at extortion. ---

Evernote is up for me. I still have access to my vast library of horse cock pictures. ---
