Hey Reddit community,
Have you ever had your hard work threatened by someone out of the blue? 🤯 Well, that’s exactly what happened to me as a computer science student working on my project, FlyMile pro.
I recently received a threatening message from the CEO of PointsYeah, accusing me of scraping their website when my project never even interacted with their site. On top of that, my website was hit with suspicious traffic and I’ve been bombarded with random international calls. It’s been a total mess!
I’m reaching out to see if anyone has been in a similar situation and how they handled it. Any advice on dealing with baseless accusations and protecting my project would be greatly appreciated.
Let’s brainstorm some solutions together to navigate this challenging situation and come out stronger on the other side. 💪🏼 Any thoughts on what steps I should take to ensure the safety and success of FlyMile pro? I’m all ears! 🧐
Looking forward to your insights and support!
I’m sorry to hear about the issues you’re facing. Document all interactions, traffic patterns, and calls. Strengthen your website security and consult a tech lawyer to understand your rights. Consider making a public statement clarifying your code doesn’t interact with PointsYeah. Inform your hosting provider about the DDoS attack and seek their assistance. If the harassment continues, report it to the authorities. Stay strong, and good luck with FlyMile Pro. The tech community supports you!
Fuck him. He is getting the data from scrapping other websites so what is his problem. Put your website behind cloudflare if he decide do DDOS and harden your webserver.
If he’s intentionally interfering with your project and you can prove it this approaches lawyer territory.
Wow what an ass
