What happened again.
Whole network including all upstreams are down.

All clients as well. They don't answer phone and email.

Does anyone know something about that?

hmm.. get this news from some ppl.

"Foonet will no longer be providing Dedicated Server Hosting. All machines were powered off and taken off site for disassembly."

rumor has it, the FBI are on site and disassembling the 'datacenter' - from what i hear, it has to do with hosted ddos nets (?). bad news if this is true, let's hope it's not..

That is true, you can get more info from their irc channel #foonet on efnet.

I have a server with CIT, it's been very good in the past whole year. Now it seems that the network is down, I can not visit my server, I can not visit CIT's homepage httpd.net or foonet.net , I can not get in touch with them on AIM, I can not send emails to their email boxes or mail pagers, all the messages sent to them were bounced back.

Does anybody here have servers from CIT too? Could anybody tell me how to get in touch with their support?

Thank you.

At 9:30pm, I spoke to the hosting provider, where our machines are
located. He informed me that Foonet will no longer be providing
Dedicated Server Hosting. All machines were powered off and taken off
site for disassembly.

RUMORS

SOME PEOPLE SAID THAT FOONET WAS RAIDED BY FEDS DUE TO SOME PROBLEMS
(SOMETHING TO DO WITH DDOS NETS).

Either way, it looks like FOONET is down until they either move the servers out of Paul's basement into a datacenter, or they are going to just be down for who knows how long..
