The website has suffered some downtime recently - sadly this is due to us once again being the target of some stupid little hack selling sites (obviously they don't like their members being banned). Personally I see the attacks as proof that we are having some effect in the anti-cheat world.
The website itself is pretty secure, with a lot of custom security. A directed attack was made on the shoutbox to inject code into the database which failed (although because of shoutbox security it took itself offline ) The only attack that has had any effect has been 2 distrubited denial of service attacks (including last night) - basically a group of about 800 computers all accessing the site at the same time takes us offline. Generally these attacks are short lived and the website returns to normal. I would also like to thank the hacking kiddie noobs... We're still here and you're doing wonders for our monthly traffic hehe..noobs Also MonkeyFiend.com (my site, which I mainly use as a file repository and place to test new code) has also been attacked - guess they've got it in for me -------------------- |
