What happened

[blog8491]

We met again!

 

[Grindstone]

Hmm, didn't notice it was down. Strange nobody was talking about it either.

I've contacted them (with the help of different datacenters) several times over the years for large scale ddos attacks. Most of the time I get a generic email stating that an "investigation may be launched and thank you for the information". Only twice have I ever been contacted and only once has that contact ever lead to a "real" investigation (and that took like three weeks). I've never heard of the FBI reacting to a ddos (for a medium-sized forum / single website) in a day or two. I know a lot of people who work at datacenters, and like I said, it normally takes at *least* a week to get a response from the FBI when reporting a ddos.

Are you guys going to the local offices or the headquarters? I know the DC and Seattle offices are quick to act, especially when extortion is involved.

There may be some more down time as we are implementing hardware to mitigate this type of this from happening again.

It is good to hear something would be done. Keep up the good work.

If DDoS comes again, DNS redirect WF to MMO

A serious suggestion - Please keep the WF twitter page active.
