Mid-Atlantic WX.com gets crushed :(

#1 Postby Scott_inVA » Tue Jun 20, 2006 11:15 pm

Monday night and much of Tuesday, the site was on a network being hammered by a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack.

Comment from System Admin: Once yahoo removes the trojan script from their site and enough of the unwitting attackers close their browser windows, then I will be able to unblock 1/4 of the Internet.

Unfortunately, Mid-Atlantic WX.com is on one network selected by this DDoS and we've either been down or very slow. Up and walking (not running yet now :wink: ) but a few folks from s2k have emailed asking WTF. I hate people who write these attacks but at least we got whacked when there are no TCs.

As Rosanne Rosannadanna said: It's always something. :roll:

Ouch.. Sorry Scott. Trust me, I hate the little (*&(*&)(&)(&^&%%$# as well. Let us know if Marshall or I can help you out in anyway at all
