Hackers get miffed at better security
 

A group of hackers was so miffed with a company it was attacking managed to lock them out and it resorted to some other tactics to hack the security experts off.

Administrators at Orlando, Florida-based TorGuard managed to defeat a series of increasingly powerful denial-of-service attacks designed to cripple their virtual private networking service.

They did this by locking down the TorGuard servers and then moving them behind the protective services of anti-DoS service CloudFlare.

TorGuard administrator Ben Van Pelt told Ars Technica that the next wave of attacks became a little more personal.

Throughout the day, the office received multiple unrequested deliveries from local pizza chains, Chinese food, and one large order of sushi. Electricians and plumbing services started to show up and had to be turned turned away. Van Pelt was surprised that no one called the cops or fire services.
