JerryM Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Certainly it could be a coincidence, but Wilders, Castle Cops, and F-Prot AV forums are all down. I hope we are not experiencing an all out attack such as this forum experienced not too long ago.I suspect it is a coincidence.Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitar Man Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 If there was a DDoS attack, it certainly was a short burst. The first two ones are running as of this posting, and have not posted announcements confirming anything yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitar Man Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Hi Jim. I've had this one here for some time now. It's a bit grainier than the TEG (JPEG) avatar, but the only file (GIF) I could upload here due to board restrictions on JPEG files as avatars. The previous one was also used over there before you joined TEG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webb Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 (edited) The TEG avatar is clearer and I'm used to seeing "High Flying Lead Guitar". Edited February 17, 2007 by Webb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomBox Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 this is NOT but as I went to CastleCops yesterday, I noticed a slight discussion about attacks to them, yet I had no problems logging into the CC::Forums for my previous search for some discussions on AntiVirus. Maybe I was the lucky few that was able to get in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar Man Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 CastleCops is back up again.http://www.castlecops.com/p898338-CastleCo...did.html#898338 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Glad to see they are back up and running! :thumbsup:It's sad that these things happen to good people's forums that are just trying to help the end user combat this crap. :(Spoke too soon ... they may be under attack again?

It times out for me.It is a real shame that some get enjoyment from hurting others.Regards,Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charred Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I got in at CC about 20 minutes ago and stayed about 15 minutes reading about the DDos attack. The site is running very slow, but works. Paul said he is going to a beefier system soon. It truly is a shame as that is a great site run by very good people.

Guest LilBambi Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I have been able to get in intermittently as well.I hope they let up or figure out how to compensate without too much expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
