Latest update re. DOS attacks.

[wilheim]

TheRX continues to be attacked by a large and sophisticated DOS. We are making every effort to fight off the attack, but it is a very difficult task.

Our team has worked around the clock to put together a solution, but it is going to take a few days to get it in place. We appreciate everybody's patience and understanding during this difficult time.

Please stat tuned as we truly are doing everything possible to have this attack defeated in no more than a few days (hopefully be Saturday's football).


Thank you all for your patience and loyalty, wilheim...

It would be nice to know who is behind these DOS attacks.
I hope you guys can track them down and let us know who's playing dirty.

I wonder if there's another site that's turning their members into bots?

I hope you're DO'N your BEST to get the problem resolved.

I don't know if it's bots or not but if it's not maybe you can just make us all verify a PW like when we sign up. I'm no network nerd. Just a suggestion

It's pretty sad I'll spend hour upon hour reviewing sports and sports related matter but I'm just too lazy to google a DOS Attack!

Best of luck to you guys in getting this taken care of :toast:

Is this still happening?

Therxforum.com gave me http://64.40.117.4/ instead and still shows up as that.

Wouldn't surprise anyone if the Books hired some Russian Mobs to set up these DOS war to keep degenerates from getting plays...:nohead:

I think it's a workaround by the tech guys.

May need to set up a redirect to the site or totally change the name

DOS = Denial Of Service.

Where they automated machines to pump request into this website, as a result, they overload the server and bring it to its knees..:toast:

The offending person has implanted dozens or even hundreds of pc's on his network with a routine that causes them all to try hit or to log on to this website at the same time upon command. That effectively shuts down all other traffic by virtue of clogging up the server's ports and that's a real pooh pooh thing to do.
