On: An update on last week's customer shutdown incident

Hardly the point.

Using what you've rightfully obtained shouldn't be regarded with suspicion.

[chewbacha → omginternets]

That seems even more hyperbolic. Are you suggesting that no service should attempt to detect fraud?

[omginternets → chewbacha]

Of course not.

Are you suggesting that 100% usage implies fraud?

There's a difference between suspecting fraud from high resource usage and equating high resource usage with fraud.

The latter is what is happening, here, and its outrageous.

[chewbacha → omginternets]

That's a simplification of what was happening. It was a combination of indicators that they list:

- A large increase in number of nodes

- All nodes using 100% of CPU

- AND a lack of payment history

I'm merely saying that the lack of payment history is an important indicator of suspicious activity. 100% usage by-itself was not the primary indicator that their article discusses.
