 | View Full Version : WHT down!! sirius 03-12-2007, 12:58 PM Hey guys, Why did WHT down too long this morning? :rolleyes: I tripped over the power cord, trying to get a beer from the Mod fridge.... :blush: the_pm 03-12-2007, 01:00 PM DDoS - http://www.inetstatus.net/ The Prohacker 03-12-2007, 01:01 PM We have been under a distributed denial of service attack since 4:18am EST. This attack has been causing intermittent outages for all iNET communities. We are working with our hosting providers to filter the attack. WHT is the target of this attack but there is a spill over affect with the rest of our sites. At this time it looks as if the attack has subsided but it could pick back up at any time. This issue has had my undivided attention for about 7 hours now :) jtodd 03-12-2007, 01:13 PM I fail to see why anyone would want WHT down so badly. This isn't a controversial community or a secretive one, it isn't illegal or immoral. In fact the only conceivable thing would be a banned mamber who wanted to get his own back.

No wonder why I couldn't access WHT from Taiwan and my dedicated server hosted in Market Post Tower. Jay August 03-12-2007, 07:03 PM Good luck fighting this ProHacker!

Its a shame that people have to resort to that. :( Artashes 03-12-2007, 09:02 PM I fail to see why anyone would want WHT down so badly.

I think it is the network that was under attack, not WHT selectively. Unless there is someone else on the network who someone else tried to get back at, I don't see why WHT would be a target. Most network attacks are random and you never know who its going to hit. Alex 03-12-2007, 09:21 PM WHT is the target of this attack... Looks like it was WHT selectively. ;) Boy are we ever popular. Alex The Dude 03-12-2007, 09:44 PM I dont understand how this crap can continue w/o being traced back to its origin!!!! With all the techniques to find people out there,why cant we find this smuck who has nothing better to do?? :confused: :kaioken: The Prohacker 03-13-2007, 10:07 AM We have implemented a new mitigation solution and so far everything appears to be running great! I need to check later today to see if we have had any further attacks. :) VINAX 03-13-2007, 01:31 PM We have implemented a new mitigation solution and so far everything appears to be running great!
