DDOS-GUARD: The company financed by criminals

ddos-guard is an anti-ddos cybersecurity company located in Russia that has had many controversies and has been accused of allowing illegal content.

DDOS-GUARD company is often attractive to criminals as the company allows certain suspicious activities and refuses to suspend services to criminals.

criminal clients and suspicious websites:

the DDOS-GUARD company has a very dark and shady history of criminal clients wanted by the authorities, criminals range from hackers to pedophiles clients

The criminals who use DDOS-GUARD mostly is to hide the server where the illegal website is hosted, DDOS-GUARD refuses to give information about the name of the hosting company of its clients.

Pedophiles and child abuse website clients:

I did an investigation about pedophiles and criminals who use DDOS-GUARD services. This investigation is based on a list of the most visited and trafficked websites hosted by DDOS-GUARD.

cumonprintedpics is the world’s most visited pedophilia forum on the clear web. and hide from the authorities using the DDOS-GUARD service

The pedophile forum has a lot of child pornography, revenge porn, child trafficking and many pedophiles.

the largest and most visited drug sales website in the world

drug traffickers with an online store have been clients of DDOS-GUARD and Cognitive Cloud. The Russian company has provided protection and concealment services for the original server of a drug trafficking network

DDOS-GUARD LTD and Cognitive Cloud LP also protected and hid the server of the same drug trafficking website but with another domain.

these drug traffickers were clients of DDOS-GUARD and Cognitive Cloud LP repeatedly and suspiciously the Russian company DDOS-GUARD was warned by email of this repeatedly due to reports of abuse by the company’s email. like all abuse emails sent to DDOS-GUARD are ignored.

these IP addresses were used by drug dealers. DDOS-GUARD knew this and only when it came out in the news did he suspend his services to these criminals.

for over 1 year DDOS-GUARD refused to suspend service to these drug dealers and during this time the DDOS-GUARD abuse department ignored reports of abuse

for having these clients and turning a blind eye to obviously illegal websites currently says this on wikipedia about the company:

“DDoS-Guard is suspected of hosting multiple Internet scammers responsible for stealing banking data, and one of the world’s largest online stores for illegal drugs operates using infrastructure associated with DDoS-Guard” — wikipedia

Clients of the DDoS-Guard:

DDOS-GUARD clients are very obscure. from drug dealers to pedophiles distributing child pornography. There are also many websites that violate copyright.

website violating copyright:

The websites with the most traffic on the DDOS-GUARD servers are suspiciously websites for piracy of movies and series.

The European Union added the company DDOS-GUARD to a piracy watch list for ignoring reports of abuse by companies and organizations of movies, series, piracy games, music, among others.

Send the abuse email to the DDOS-GUARD abuse department of a piracy website and movies and series. (the email sent by me was completely ignored by the company DDOS-GUARD)

pedophilia and child abuse content:

Pedophiles use DDOS-GUARD services because pedophiles know that the company ignores reports of abuse and will also not give much information about the hosting company where the illegal content is.

The company refuses to give information about its clients and stands between the original server and the website.

There are many child exploitation and child sexualization websites that use DDOS-GUARD denial of service protection services for the purpose of hiding the original server.

The worst thing about this is that they are not illegal websites with little traffic. the largest pedophilia forum on the clear web used DDOS-GUARD

https://osintguardian.com/2023/11/the-largest-pedophiles-forum-on-the-clear-web
The illegality is so evident that when searching for the name of the forum in the Bing image search engine, images of children between the ages of 5–17 come up

DDOS-GUARD abuse department and support team together with some employees were notified by different people about pedophiles using their services and for the most part DDOS-GUARD does not answer emails and seems not to care about pedophilia and illegal content.

non-consensual pornography:

Many perverts who upload revenge porn, deepfakes and non-consensual porno content use DDOS-GUARD services to protect themselves from reports of abuse by revenge porn victims.

the DDOS-GUARD abuse department doesn’t care about revenge porn. They ignore all victims of revenge porn and do nothing to help them.

MrDeepFakes

This website is one of the most popular non-consensual (deep fake) porn websites. This website is a client of DDOS-GUARD

leaknudes

leaksnude is a very visited website in the traffic of one of the most important DDOS-GUARD servers. the content is stealing copyrighted content from OnlyFans and showing victims of revenge porn

there is a very large list of non-consensual content and revenge porn from DDOS-GUARD client websites. In order not to do more harm to the victims of revenge porn.

phishing websites and bank details:

there are many phishing websites protected by DDOS-GUARD. as always the company’s abuse team ignores reports of abuse about this and refuses to help phishing victims.

RobinBanks used the DDOS-GUARD infrastructure to run an illegal phishing website and sell illegal items to hack victims in the past.

Currently there are phishing sites and cryptocurrency banks without any type of certification and suspicious websites protected by the bulletproof servers of DDOS-GUARD

hacking, botnets and illegal websites:

hackers use DDOS-GUARD services to commit crimes completely anonymously and without being tracked

hacking: Many hackers use DDOS-GUARD for their bulletproof servers. an easy option to hide from the police

botnets: there are botnets that use DDOS-GUARD to have a bulletproof server to protect themselves from authorities and intelligence agencies

malware, spyware and payloads: Many spyware uses DDOS-GUARD IP addresses to hide the server and the real IP where the attacker controls the malware. DDOS-GUARD refuses to give information to hacking victims.

doxxing forums: hackers meet in forums to talk about hacking, database leaks, doxxing people etc. DDOS-GUARD protects many of these websites and refuses to suspend service.

drug trafficking and DDos-Guard:

DDos-Guard in the past had drug trafficker clients and ddos-guard made money with one of the largest drug stores in the world, even the owners of the illegal website worked on the dark web website (tor browser)

DDOS-GUARD was financed by drug traffickers since drug traffickers paid every month (in 1 year) for bulletproof servers owned by ddos-guard company.

for 1 year the ddos-guard company earned money indirectly from drug trafficking. since that’s where the illegal money came from where one of the largest stores in the world selling illegal drugs then paid DDOS-GUARD for bulletproff servers services.

and then the drug traffickers mysteriously stopped using the services of DDOS-GUARD when they attracted a lot of attention they started using the services of the company Cognitive Cloud LP

this is a list of controversial clients of DDOS-GUARD

DDOS-GUARD has a history of extremely controversial clients. either because they are criminals, immoral or wanted by the authorities

DDOS-GUARD Servers:

  • DDOS-GUARD Servers: Russian (DDos-Guard LTD)

DDOS-GUARD is an unscrupulous company. He doesn’t care who the client is as long as there is money involved. either a pedophile or someone who hacks games. if they earn money it doesn’t matter to them.

Why is it useful for criminals to use DDOS-GUARD services?

Criminals finance DDOS-GUARD and buy its denial of service protection services because they hide the original server where the illegal website is hosted. the DDOS-GUARD service gets in the way and appears in the whois information and the IP address.

criminals don’t care about ddos ​​protection. What attracts criminals to DDOS-GUARD is that the company tends to look the other way at illegal content… and also ignores reports of abuse. which makes it a service with a bulletproof server.

when authorities or people report abuse to [email protected] they are ignored by support staff and abuse team

“according to a former employee, DDoS-Guard has a history of working with customers who operate on the darknet.” — Wikipedia

Ddos-guard ignores all these things on this list:

  • ignores reports of abuse for violations of policies and laws.
  • refuses to give the name of the company that hosts the criminal website
  • ignore DMCA (Copyright) abuse reports
  • they refuse to suspend the anti ddos ​​service to criminals

how DDOS-GUARD makes money from organized crime:

DDOS-GUARD earns money from criminal organizations and extremely criminal activities. the owners of DDOS-GUARD don’t care where the money comes from, as long as they make money it won’t matter.

DDOS-GUARD makes criminals and controversial websites pay more money for their services. that is the reason why DDOS-GUARD has criminal clients, for money

The DDOS-GUARD company makes money from the dark internet and is financed every month by sex criminals, drug traffickers, pedophiles, scammers and hackers.

“A former employee explained that DDoS-Guard embraced “Darknet” customers because more legitimate website security companies refuse to work with them” — Meduza News

Hong Kong Leaks and DDOS-GUARD Corp:

In 2019 and 2020 there were protests in Hong Kong by thousands of angry people and in 2019 someone anonymous created a doxxing website called HKLeaks and used the protection of DDOS-GUARD Corp.

Many of the doxed people were threatened, tortured and disappeared and many people even suffered death threats from Chinese people. DDOS-GUARD did nothing to stop this and defended them even though they clearly violated the DDOS-GUARD terms.

DDOS-GUARD ignored reports of abuse from authorities, victims and intelligence agencies. They knew that what appeared on this website was illegal.

DDOS-GUARD response:

Leaked personal data, doxing and a sniper scope on a photo of a doxxing victim is not sufficient legal proof for DDOS-GUARD…

That website violated the company (DDOS-GUARD) policies and the law for leaking personal information.

  • threat of bodily injury or damage to individuals or groups of persons, harassment.
  • creating a risk to the safety or health of people, public safety, endangering national security or hindering the investigation by law enforcement agencies
  • containing threats of physical harm, violent scenes provoking violence, or containing offensive or hateful statements;

source: the DDOS-GUARD (Acceptable use policy) policy, there is a complete PDF file on this on the DDOS-GUARD website.

It not only refused to suspend the website even though it clearly violated the DDOS-GUARD policy and the laws of different countries. Also here confirms that DDOS-GUARD ignores abuse reports.

Despite the fact that this Chinese civilian data leak website violates the company’s policies, DDOS-GUARD refused to suspend the service and even made jokes on twitter about it.

strange connections and coincidences…

DDOS-GUARD is in league with the Russian state

It is suspected that behind HLeaks was the Chinese government and Chinese police, also the victims of doxxing claimed that after being arrested their data appeared in HKLeaks.

for some reason between 2019–2021 DDOS-GUARD and Yandex company were ignoring abuse reports. (these 2 companies have contracts with the Russian government).

people on twitter saw what the psychopaths behind DDOS-GUARD are capable of. It doesn’t matter that people are in danger or threatened with death because of HKLeaks, as long as the DDOS-GUARD company makes money, everything will be fine.

Russian State and DDOS-GUARD LTD

the Russian government has contracts with the company DDOS-GUARD. Basically the cybersecurity company protects major Russian state websites and media from ddos ​​attacks.

RT (media):

The RT communication medium created by the Russian government, DDOS-GUARD protects this communication medium from DDOS attacks.

Bank Of the Russia:

The central bank of the Russian government uses the breach and the DDOS-GUARD anti-ddos service to protect itself from DDOS-GUARD attacks as well.

Other Russian government websites are also protected by DDOS-GUARD. such as the Russian defense ministry and others.

DDOS-GUARD servers with Russian state connections

IP addresses owned by the ddos-guard company have the name “Russian Federation, Moscow” and another name called “Rostov On Don” which is the state of Russia.

all ips addresses are the property of DDOS-GUARD and by investigating the address of the Rostov On Don server I was able to find records from the RIPE organization that show that DDOS-GUARD uses the same address

the russian government does not stop this company, it does not investigate it. The reason for this is because they are complicit in everything this company does.

They don’t stop them because DDOS-GUARD has contracts and does business to protect the most important websites of the Russian state.

“Russia’s Central Bank also does business with DDoS-Guard.” — Meduza news

DDOS-GUARD and Ukraine

The suspicious company DDOS-GUARD originally had its headquarters and offices in the Ukraine until spring 2013, when they got into trouble with the Ukrainian government and the National Security Agency for having criminal clients.

Suspiciously, after being investigated by Ukrainian government agencies and the police, DDOS-GUARD’s response was to move its headquarters and company offices to Russian federal territory.

in January 2014 DDOS-GUARD did business with REG.ru and soon after began to have contracts and business with the Russian state

Some time after leaving the Ukraine , in 2016 the DDOS-GUARD company began to have more important contracts with the Russian government. and DDos-guard started working with the Russian Defense Ministry and the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.

and from that moment they began to work together with russian media, companies financed by the russian state, public organizations and state organizations such as the central bank, the bank of moscow among others.

Cognitive Cloud L.P Company

Cognitive Cloud is a company owned by the same CEO as DDOS-GUARD and uses the DDOS-GUARD infrastructure to protect the Cognitive Cloud website and Cognitive Cloud client IPs are owned by DDOS-GUARD.

Company server: Cognitive Cloud L.P (United Kingdom)

suspiciously the Cognitive Cloud LP website sells denial of service attack protection services publicly but there is no login or registration page. no one can even buy the service.

Cognitive Cloud company has too many connections with DDOS-GUARD. . ¿What is the reason for having 2 anti ddos ​​companies when they already have one?

It’s funny that a company like DDOS-GUARD that has terrorist clients, pedophiles, hackers and drug traffickers has to keep all the dirty money it earns in a place where they don’t ask many questions…

The CEO of ddos-guard has been suspected for years of using Cognitive Cloud LP for something illegal or unlawful related to dirty money.

“DDoS-Guard was registered in 2017 under a limited partnership, a financial structure in Scotland that allows nonresidents to create companies with little scrutiny” — The Guardian

and now it makes sense that DDOS-GUARD would accept drug dealing clients and one of the largest drug stores in the world as a client.
