We experienced what's known as a "Distributed Denial of Service" attack, specifically, a syn flood variation.
In simple words, some malicious program was employed to flood our server (specifically, this site's IP) with an extreme amount of bs TCP requests to the extent it was no longer able to keep up and serve regular traffic. In this instance, the attack was so large, the server/host decided to pull this site completely offline until the attack subsided so as to not degrade their entire network and affect their other customers. Gary, Mike and myself had no access either. We were just as "banned" as everyone else. It is unknown, and likely never will be, as to whodunit or why this happened to us specifically, nor even if it's completely ended yet. Attacks like this travel through many proxy connections all over the world, we had several hundred simultaneous incoming hits from everywhere...Turkey, Brazil, Thailand, etc. While these sorts of malicious attacks are typically aimed at shutting down high-profile websites, IMO it was not a attack on this site by anyone we know. I know GB is taking a long nap right about now in relief that we're back up and running, but until I hear from him, I still do not know HOW clean our bill of health is right now. If someone specifically did aim this at us, my fear is it could just as easily happen again. |

Anyone notice that some of your PM's are gone? I just finished saving the ones I wanted and deleted the rest, and now all the old ones are back again.
