MrFragicide Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Lindy Posted October 10, 2010 Management Share Posted October 10, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFragicide Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
