You probably need to calm down a bit. Everyone who has any kind of service on the open internet sees this stuff in their logs all the time. Most of it is entirely automated. That's just how the internet works.
Pentester/bug bounty hunter here. I appreciate that this is frustrating for the owner to experience, but this reads like normal internet noise to me, or at worst someone fired up burp suite and hit go on a website. Many, many commercial tools run these sorts of attacks en masse by default, some SaaS companies even do it as a product. The entire internet is being scanned constantly and many of those scanners have auto…
Also, sharks weren't made by ethically-questionable hackers.
I don't see why you need to dismiss this person's legitimate trauma, seems awfully boorish of you to do so.
The unfair match between good and bad has most likely been a conundrum for thousands of years. Multiple solutions has been proposed as to how to deal with the bad ones, including; kill them, forgive them, educate and reform them - but nothing really seems to work. One solution might be to gather them all up and send them to another planet were they can live as they please without bothering the good ones - and some mi…

I have found that there are people who just want to watch the world burn. There are many reasons, but, at its most basic, hurt people hurt people. That's something I like to keep in mind, when I'm reacting to someone being ... less than friendly ... By reacting badly, I then make it all right for them to justify doing it again, to someone else. I've found that I can defend myself, without becoming a foaming-at-the-mo…
> I have found that there are people who just want to watch the world burn. There are many reasons, but, at its most basic, hurt people hurt people. I'm not sure that it's even malicious. I think many hackers look at a website or a service as a game to play. They aren't thinking so far as the person that this action affects, just as far as "I wonder if I could get all the data off that site?" or something similar. An…
Hacking, these days, isn’t just for the lulz. Hackers have a purpose, and that’s usually monetary or military (sometimes both).
Hacking crews, these days, run professional organizations that would make a lot of SV C-Suiters green with envy.

When have we tried killing malicious hackers?

If a shark attacks you, it isn't personal, but it is traumatic. Also, sharks weren't made by ethically-questionable hackers. I don't see why you need to dismiss this person's legitimate trauma, seems awfully boorish of you to do so.

The last part is so true. I’m a big guy, 6’3’’ 260, multiple Ironman, sport, climbing, lifting and hunting brush with a bit of combat training over the years. Most people in my life I imagine I could kill with my bare hands. But I don’t, because like you said that isn’t how life works. Yet people apply it to anything they want recklessly. Cars, phones, or like above peoples projects. I wonder how they would feel if I…
I'm about your size, and have actually done what you describe (not by my own choice). The process takes much longer than one might suppose, however incredibly difficult to imagine. We are nothing more than temporary meatbags, fragilely broken. Take care of yourself, each other. ¢¢

You don't know that.
Recently I have had to live in a building with severe noise issues, and running appropriately EQed white noise on my speaker helped mask it and maintain at least some sanity and sleep. The mynoise app might not be the fanciest but it does exactly what it says without fail or frills, and works across devices. I don’t think I knew who made it when I bought it, but this story put a face on the app. When someone attacks…
I had long-term noise issues with the tenant directly above me. Periodically complaining to the office got sympathy but little else. Then I created a iOs shortcut that sent a templated email to my landlord each time I told Siri "Loud neighbors." I was surprised at the effectiveness of 3 - 4 emails a week. I suspect it is one thing to shoosh someone while ushering them out of your office. It's another to have to respo…
Feel for the guy. I had a couple of long owned domains stolen recently. They were so low value to anyone but me though, it makes me wonder why someone would bother.
Scary stuff. How'd the thefts occur, in your case?
