DDOS attack
There was a DDOS attack tonight. They were trying to hack us much like they tried last time. Don't worry, there is no way that they will manage it but it does mean that it can mean interruptions in service while they are doing it.

If it's of any value, I lost connection through my PC but not my connection through my phone still working.

Did you trace the IP to any particular country?

The OP mentioned a hack attempt. That's what I was asking about. A botnet floods the ports with bad packets. A hack is a break and enter.

DDOS attack
I was just about to go to bed when I noticed it so I haven't examined too closely. But there were attempts from multiple countries to break and enter. It was very similar to the attacks that were made after Vosur incompetently tried socially engineering us.
I know that the intention wasn't to just bring the site down but that's what it effectively did.

Do we suspect Vosur again or is it religious extremists? If its the latter it certainly supports staffs argument regarding drawing you know who.

I noticed the issues loading earlier. If the server is moved, I suggest move it to a DDOS-protected network.

We don't actually know who is behind it but I have my suspicions as to their motives.
I have kept the logs from last time though so I can compare them with the current logs to see if it's the same bot net or not.

Likely using Zombie computers to attempt a break and enter. A good port scanner on those zombies might reveal a backdoor, and then it's just a matter of finding out what trojan is being used. Then, find the GUI for that trojan, change the name of the trojan, reboot the machine, and that's one down.
Old 90's techniques. Still works lol

I say it was Russia. Because ... you know... Russians!
My country is run by the biggest troll on the planet. At any given moment, I have the feeling I could wake up in a refrigerator box underneath a bridge.
Do you need anything from us Mathilda? I think most of us would help, if we knew how to do so.
