OcUK DDoS attack - £10,000 reward

[Steve2000]

Spie might I suggest Norton anti hacker. This will soon wipes the grins from their faces.

Still painfully slow, is there anything else apart from helping with leads we can all do?

I think it's just about time Spie turned on Norton anti hacker. This will soon wipes the grins from their faces.

Kapersky tbh.

 

[Maccy]

Yup gotten very slow this afternoon

Obviously meant as a joke.

Yeah its getting annoying (and I know several people who have ordered elsewhere because of it :S). On the plus side it seems to be getting OCuk some pretty big publicity and the longer it goes on for the far more likely it is the person behind it gets caught.

I think it would possibly be a good idea for OCuk to do something like email out a mini catalog of this week only offers and popular lines with telephone and maybe a backup internet ordering details.

it was me! i use tabbed browsing (middle mouse) to get every thread up that i have posted to that has had recent posts i find 5 or more tabs seems to tip this forum over the edge these days so there i turned myself in can i have my 10k now

Whoops sorry about the multiple posts...think I just figured out what the "Try Again" button does on Firefox when you get the "Document contains no data" error

Just thinking. What's the significance of the forums being DDOSed as well as the shop (bearing in mind the two are on different servers)? If you just wanted to cost OcUK as much money/trade as possible, you'd tell all your bots to attack the shop and make sure that no orders got through. Using significant resources to attack the forums as well must imply a different motive. This is an attack on the community as well as the business, which to me suggests something much more personal than just a disgruntled customer, for example.

All conjecture, of course.

Also, anyone who wants to read more about DDoS attacks might find this interesting. The information's fairly out of date and this attack is probably more advanced, but it's a good read if you want to find out how DDoS attacks can work.

And I was wondering what the hell was going on with the forums and main site, up and down more than a yoyo :/

I've never really understood the point in this type of thing, its just pathetic imo, why people feel the need to cause hassle and upset to other sites/people online, just a bit sad if you ask me.

Hope you find them.

It's just getting more annoying than anything, the sites not been available to me all day... That must surely but a shed load of sales lost?!

Be patient and give us a bit of time

 

[Cosimo]

We will

 

[Kerplunk]

Up and down like a whores drawers

 

[DampCat]

this is getting old!

 

[Booner!]

I think it's stable again?

 

[CliffyBiro]

I think it's stable again?

Seems to be.

Same time last night too I think so seems scheduled.

Seems to be.

Yeah pretty sure it scheduled. Can we request logs in aid of helping and getting closer to the 10k?

 

[RockLobster]

Looks like they have moved the sites to a different server.

 

[Wiggins]

Well this issue has now hit forums, blogs and hardware websites worldwide.
