I was wondering if Cisco or Juniper payed them anything to back off or just threaten them the same thing that Cloudflare actually did to them. The fact that they thought they had a winnable case again Cloudflare makes me think that others actually paid up ... or that the troll was just getting desperate to finally earn anything.
