We still are still under attack (get spiked twice a day at least) and am not sure who is doing it. Tech Support has buttoned up all the ports that were vulnerable. Unfortunately that has caused us to block legitimate posters from Austrailia and some parts of Asia.

That is why Viejo Dinosaur has been missing, he is on vacation in the Far East and cannot access the site because of our counter measures against the DDOS attackers.

We have never heard anything from whoever has been doing this.

No extortion then it's out of spite.

If that's the case then it's Cris.

kinda like WVU,you know he was on the lamb but you just can't prove it.

We know WVU would of never came back if and we know Don Best absolutely hates Rick with all their fiber being


LOL

Well nobody would ever know RX is under attack (now). I didn't notice VJ missing, nothing against him, personally. Not to many Aussie posters, or Asian.

It sounds like youse guys have tied it to Australia or Asia ?

Rx is functional now, sorry to hear a few might be out like VD.

I notice Greendoberman missing, is he pissed at RX over something ?

We have definately narrowed it down to a country that starts with the letter "A".

I'd venture a guess that it's not what it appears to be on the surface.

I could easily be wrong, but I really don't think that it's the case.

Several books\sites have been hit & I'm yet to hear of anyone who received any kind of ransom email. There are a lot of things that basically don't make any sense.

Well, Cris got hit (last?) Sat pm & Sunday-it was either last week or the week before. Skybook has been hit, Wsex, etc.

Despite my earlier thoughts, I'm thinking this is some MF'ers testing the water to see what does & doesn't work so they can fine tune it to really cripple someone when the NFL playoffs\Super Bowl come around.

Call me crazy-who knows.

Wil, just to let You and everyone else know. I gave VD a way to get on at the RX. BUt either that did not work, ( not sure why ) or he can't set that up.
Waiting to hear back from him to see where he stands.
