Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted October 9, 201014 yr Any news on what actually happened today that caused the IPS hosting servers to go down? My site is on server 34 so it was down for a few hours. I was just curious if there was a reason behind the DoS attack.
October 10, 201014 yr Management It was a relatively hefty attack, reaching 500mbps. It was targeted at a gaming website... apparently the owner annoyed a competing website. It's not unusual, it seems... though the scale of this attack was. Apologies for any inconvenience. That site is now removed from our network.
October 10, 201014 yr That site is now removed from our network. While I do understand this from your and your other customers point of view I feel really pity for the guy :(
October 11, 201014 yr Management It's been a bad weekend for server34! The hardware issue has been resolved.... I'm very sorry for the delay.
October 11, 201014 yr Author no idea it will be back online once it is back up. ;) Thanks for the obvious... It's been a bad weekend for server34! The hardware issue has been resolved.... I'm very sorry for the delay. Indeed. Thanks for getting everything sorted. My site has been down all weekend which resulted in me losing revenue, thus the reason I was becoming a pest :P Here's to server 34 having a long(er) life :)
