They also scammed COO of Tempest(present on LET) for about $18k.

Cope and seethe. I would never in my life knowingly support a company run by a fed informant(and a criminal at that) and a pedophile.
No matter how good the service is, pedophiles deserve a bullet in their head not money and support.
Anyone who spoke against Path who had their information, received a cease and desist letter from their lawyers(who helped them forge court orders before, in attempts to dox people who doxed Corey). All of which of course was baseless, but understandably not everyone is willing to spit at Chippy's face in court(or rather have a chance of doing that, because there is virtually no way it will go to court when its literally baseless).
If its not pathetic damage control, I don't know what is.

The whole Path thematic deserves its own thread.
No wonder when Marshal Webb sent CosmoTheGod to assault some guy named milad aka notspoof. He removed all those videos from Twitter.
came across this thread. I heard that NTT is no longer announcing Path's routes globally.
the reason was a "global outage" with NTT. shouldn't that be news already?
tbh i don't care about their past, currently they make great filters & stopped big attacks. but recently things seems off...
how do you know they don't pay their transit?
where did they get investments from?
Past? It's their present but under a blanket lol
@SirFoxy had a LowEndBox article drafted up but I believe it got nuked due to threat. Maybe he can comment on that. It sounded like a promising topic.
Pussies.
If anyone had any doubts that Path is a criminal enterprise, there you go.
I just wish good providers such as @Francisco stopped using them, as much as I like BuyVM performance, I need DDoS protection but I'm not going to even remotely support Path and their team of criminals and pedophiles.
Yes, there’s been an entirely completed article stuck in pending for months.
You already know this, but a handful of people received legal notices for solely thanking comments. Discord was sued by Path, etc.
It doesn’t focus on the Kiwi Farms stuff though, just Marshal Webb.
Also, in the nature of fairness Marshal Webb is not a convicted criminal.
However, he has been involved in questionable activities (Lulzsec, etc) that have led to him being raided.

^ article about his parents home in Ohio being raided.
Real fun starts when you take a look at BackConnect Inc(what Path originally was).
@DataWagon could comment on it, but I doubt they want to.
He took it to the mouth at Police station and sold his "homies". He is a fed informant.
Oh yeah, their CTO is not caught masturbating to child porn rape videos anymore so we good....
No, they haven't changed one bit, you just don't hear shit because they threaten anyone who dares talking about them. From DDoS, to extortion and fake court orders. Nothing is off limits for these degenerates, obviously.
Oh no, Path CEO involved in ordering violent actions on people he doesn't like, what a surprise. May as well get swatted soon.
Before Path.net Came BackConnect
"Marshal was the CTO of a company named BackConnect between his younger years and Path.net. It served the exact same purpose as Path: DDoS mitigation.
The CEO was another man named Bryant Townsend.
At the time the company was receiving an attack by a well-known paid booter named vDOS.
BackConnect decided to..."
Guess who operated this service...

I really hope your account here is clean of any PII. Some battles just aren't worth the cost, but maybe that's just me getting old.
I don't have anything to worry about since Path is a large corporation "working with the Govt"... right?
They cannot be sketchy criminals, there is absolutely no way....
Also just to clear any confusion, I was not threatening swatting. Its something I would never do.
Everyone in this thread would get sued if path really cared about random people.
Suing is the nicest thing they can do to you.
Alright @stefeman, I've had enough of your shit. You've been served.

Yep, I got a Cease and Desist for "Thanking" a LET post. I think it was a post you made, actually.
It's been a minute so the exact details are fuzzy, I just remember that typically you get 10-15 days to respond to a Cease and Desist as a general standard practice. Their lawyer was trying to get me respond and agree in 48 or 72 hours or something. I asked her to give me an extension so I can have it reviewed from my side so I can properly understand it and to understand my options as well as to update my address on file since the one listed on the document was no longer valid for some months, but alas, I never heard back.
If you do more digging on LET, you are able to find VICTIMS of Path pretty quickly, for anyone curious.
Just one of them: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3267799/#Comment_3267799
Path, from skids - for skids. Nobody serious should do business with these people.
Any provider doing business with them, fuels it.
No guessing needed.
@treesmokah
Isn't that guy Australian and wanted by the FBI for making bomb threats?
I do not know what we have in common which made you think its me, but I guess, keep thinking like that.
Cloudflare magic transit probably priced also magically.
And you didn't you guys heard about path network's token scam? https://github.com/path-network-token many chinese people were scammed. I belived they spread a path node app which kind of mine path token or was it used for infecting devices and launching ddos attacks?
they all use them because they are dirt cheap
Cloudflare magic transit is expensive but if you're running large scale web infra then its the go-to.
Path is great for game-based protection, fast support especially through tempest. Downsides have already been stated many times in this thread. Back when I used it if there wasn't a filter for your specific application its not worth having.
CosmicGuard is our go-to up until recently. They offer good flexibility in services and locations and have a decent range of options for game/vpn. Baseline tcp/udp much better (albeit not perfect) in comparison to Path. Good for hosting/resellers. Product has not quite matured yet (a lot of features either don't exist or don't have the polish you come to expect right now), team is small so at times support can be on the slower side.
I am yet to believe there is a "one-size fits all" solution to ddos protection. Different companies are better at different things.
I think thats a good thing, you want something for the web, cloudflare is great, want game specific stuff you have path and cosmic, for more generic L3/4 you have cosmic or g-core.
Its good to have good competition to drive the prices down for us and have push innovation in the field.
Absolutely! Competition only benefits the end user!
Forgot about HE with their blackhole communities and I think arelion has 5 locations for data scrubbing, if you want to talk about "T1" providers. But yeah I would love to have cheaper DDoS protection.
The cost gab for the providers vs the people launching the DDoS is way to large atm.
The commenter who you linked also worked for Path.net in the server support/sales section for several months after that post.
Basically most of the stuff and evidence no longer serve purpose anyway. People's affiliations and opinions change a lot.
tl:dr Yes, they were "bad" before, now theyre "good" with some past.
