Attention all StatFox.com and FoxSheets.com users,

At approximately 4:30pm EST, StatFox.com was the target of a denial of service attack from multiple sources. The attacks appear to originate outside the United States. We are aggressively working to restore normal service. In the interim, we have compiled the following work-around.

To access StatFox.com... click here or type statfox.com into your browser (do not include www.)

To access FoxSheets.com... click here or type foxsheets.com into your browser (do not include www.)

We hope to have everything functioning normally within the next 24 hours. Thank you for your patience.

Sincerely,
The StatFox Team

Could some smart computer guy tell me if these guys can ever be caught? It really seems like these guys are like a bad virus with no cure.

it would be easier to trace the money if they are getting payed off,these guys cover there trails so well on the net but in time yes they could track them down

is a fine site, but a strange target. They are an information site, not bookmakers. While certainly profitable they don't strike me as the type of place the hackers would attack. btw. Statfox has set up a route around the attack, something others were not able to do.

These Russians are good. And they are tough guys. If you track them down what do you do then? You try to take them to Pine Barrens and end up freezing your ass off all night and eating packets of ketchup. No thanks.
