NameDrive DDOS Attack
Hi guys,


Although we have many measures in place to prevent this, we are currently under an unprecedentedly large DDOS attack currently.
We hope to have everything up very shortly and to keep the downtime to under 30 minutes.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Ed

Someone unhappy with their PPC revenue?

Someone unhappy with their PPC revenue?No doubt! But I have an alibi. Bank survelience tapes can substantiate my claims.

Their site is still down, hopefully they have called the FBI by now.

However, I see no difference in my stats for today :y:

And I do agree with the remark - remarked elsewhere - that they should be emailing customers, not posting on what may be unknown forums.

But as of this posting, the issues have still not been resolved.

Hi guys,

Just an update here. I can't believe this still hasn't been resolved. This is a massively concerted, aggressive and malicious attack. We deal with a DDOS pretty much every day, but even our sophisticated defenses (of which we have built up a very large number over the last 24 months) are somewhat overwhelmed by this. We are working on a solution and hope to be up shortly.

I'll repeat for the nth time that your earnings won't be affected by this and you will be compensated fully once this is over.

I apologise again for other people's malevolence and hope we can get this sorted asap.

Update: namedrive is still down. Ed has an update on his blog: http://blog.namedrive.com

Good luck namedrive. I find it hard to believe this site has been down for so long :-(

Yeah...crazy how long it's going on...I hope they catch the bastards

[Gerry]

It is back up.

It appears that the landers were never affected. I did check myself. I was still able to access parked pages and everything seemed to be resolving fine.

Just unable to log in or access the home page.

Supposedly, and it appears so, stats and revenue had never been affected and were still being captured.

It appears that the landers were never affected.
Not true in my case, the 5 or so of my domains I checked when this all started wouldn't ever load. Since my revenue there is so bad it doesn't really matter.

[hanogl]

Landers have certainly been down as well, but have been restored earlier than the homepage.

Somebody must not like them, they are down again today! And my sites don't seem to be pulling up either!
