So uhh it's been awhile now since our last major DDoS attack and I'm sure me or someone else here randomly pissed some crazy person off and they decided to ramp shit up and let loose on us.

Mitigation in progress.

As most of you know,we get DDoS'ed just about every single day at least once since late 2006. I don't know if that's some kind of record, but it should be! You usually don't notice any issues because we're pretty good at neutralizing it and/or dealing with it at a specific level. Well, the one today, which is inevitable anyway, happened to be quite a bit larger than what we're used to seeing. Probably costing the person a few grand for the botnet rental that is smacking the crap outta us.

I used to get all upset and shit about this, but I don't anymore. It's impossible to prevent or defend against totally. Especially since we're not going to put up the insane amount of funds necessary to defend against every damn threat lobbed at us. It's the internet and some people's lulz are other people's hustle. I respect the game for what it is. Except for the pedos, can we please just kill those fuckers already?

:drinkup:
 


Is that chinese clone site still going? maybe if you stop them from copying they decide to automatically add your domain to their ddos shit list, just a theory
 
Had trouble concentrating this morning on work because I couldn't check wickedfire before I got started.

I forgot all about that. I remember finding it when searching for a very specific tag I'd posted on here as a breadcrumb, and did alert you but heard nothing about it since.

Won't ask details but I'm guessing that Incaspula didn't get it sorted and that you reverted to other ways?
 
That zipperhead site is a clone of a clone times a cajillion... do we really give a fuck? Nah.. we're a public forum. Scrapers gonna scrape. It's just part of the game we play.
 
Damn. Jewish gang + Russian mob, eh? Now there's a kick ass, unbeatable combo.

You forgot to add the intelligence community. Without us, the bankers and mobsters would be at war. It's all part of the game of making them monies y0.
 
So for someone who doesn't understand these things, why are they using DDos attacks against the site and what does that have to do with trying to clone the site?

some guys Clone sites.

others get mad and ddos.

Two independent issues.
 
More likely somebody is flexing their botnet than renting a botnet if this has been a persistent problem since 2006. Still, gotta respect that persistence lol, actively hating on WF for 8 years now.
 
ching chang chong tag reminded me of this!

I wouldn't even be mad if this were real.
