 Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2008 1:27 pm Post subject: DSLReports under DDoS attack again! |
|
|
As of Thu Apr 10 09:06:11 EDT 2008:
Unfortunately we have a DDOS (distributed denial of
service attack) currently aimed at our pages, rather
than give you page timeouts and errors I've decided to
show this page for now while we mitigate it.
http://www.dslreports.com/front/shutdown.html
Hopefully things go back to normal soon.
Regards.

What a shame and another total waste of time and space. I thank you for letting me know why the site is down. If only these people that make this occur would take their games elsewhere, but I suppose that a DDoS is, in a way, a show that a site is ticking off some people and/or that those same people that play these games have targeted a special site. Between here and DSLR, there has been enough of this DDoS type sport to last a life time and then some.

Somebody may be aware that we're using the kind of information from DSLReports to rapidly identify spamvertised and phish domains, and may not be aware of how many other sources we have for the same information.

Hi AC.
I am pleased to hear it.
I am even more pleased that you refrained from posting a "target list"

I got in for a second some time earlier and then, bam. Gone again. I thought I was nuts when it popped up, but when it died just as quickly, I knew it was not over.

I was wondering why the site was down. then I checked here. thanks for the info.

============================
dslreports.com is down at the moment
looks like we'll be down for about a day
unfortunately in order to reconfigure properly
so that the site availability is 100% in future
some hardware (thats things! and hands!) needs
to get shuffled around, and we're hoping to
do that on saturday.
