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

Yeah, looks that way.

Will be interesting to see if the attacks are redirected.

Google OcUK DDoS.

If the news is spreading then it is only good news for ocuk

i am pretty sure 10k is hard to pass up for anyone who knows something...

Yeah news of it.

All thats needed now is a BBC News interview with Spie and a cardboard cutout of Godfather on his face.

I expect one of the people in the DDoS team will step forward, grass his mates up and take the cash!

It's gotten onto the register now, too.

Well... What if OcUK can then find proof that he did it as well, like the other people in the team grassing him up as well.. That means they find the guy and don't have to pay a penny. Although I would probably be inclined to tell them, if I knew, who it was for free... (In return for 50% discount all the time.. haha.. Just joking)

We are all hackers. :eek:

I really hope we are all told the outcome of this once it's over. I mean, WHO? WHY?

Sukh · 22 Jan 2009 at 20:05

I hope in some perverse way the adverse publicity compensates Spie for lost sales, just so the forum stays open? I don't really buy much from OcUK, can only afford a PC every few years, but use a lot of bandwidth here faffing about.

Loving the comments on the register post. Pathetic bunch.

Keltik THC · 22 Jan 2009 at 20:16

wow, i didnt realise it was so serious... hope its all sorted out soon guys.

Im trying to figure out why someone would want to attack OCuk though, seems an odd target unless its a disgruntled customer and even then it seems a bit excessive if it was.

And to the guys who say their is no decent AV on the market i say to you Kasp 2009!

curiously enough i recieved my first ever email yeserday with a virus attached, luckily my ISP has its own internal AV and just sent me an email saying they had blocked an email and why.... i never knew my ISP even had that function! an extra bit o peace of mind.
