Have you read some of the comments on the register ? They're not good !!

The staff make a point of flaunting their excess on the forums with hardly a week going by between one of them posting whichever supercar they've been able to buy with the considerable profits they make.

HAH!

I doubt it, but seeing theirs would be helpful.

It seems there is a bit of beef out there...

Bumpage.

I am glad of the publicity as at least some attention should lead to Sales which in some way will make up for the losses.

The Register does itself No favours at all with it's UNIFORMED description of Us users :mad:

If it cannot describe us correctly it cannot describe Anything correctly, We are an Open & Friendly community & hardly Top secret Hacker types, That is just Laughable.

Well god, don't ask them to revise their description. They'll do a bit of research, find the Azab thread and call as a load of transsexual hackers instead.

Was able to get on the forum and shop once yesterday, not at all for the last few days apart from that.

Using a proxy now :/

Now that is Funny

Forums are fine, but the shop is dog slow for me or times out - I hope they nail whoever is responsible :mad:

I wonder if the attack has been switched to the Shop only to stop annoying the Masses ?
Or perhaps the attacker is running out of funds therefore using his resources on what hurts most.

From what I'm reading, a lot of people dislike ocuk for some reason

is there no way to trace a DDOS? i thought a DDOS was repeatadly pinging a router/server ect. untill it can't take no more and falls over. so there should be some kind of log for what the traffic has been.

It would have been done by lots of infected computers, and most likely not in this country.

You described a DoS, DDoS is the same idea but using multiple machines, probably some sort of virus zombie botnet, so think a few hundred or a thousand machines here all over the world.
