NameDrive DDOS Attack

[NameDriver]

Hi guys,

Although we have many measures in place to prevent this, we are currently under an unprecedentedly large DDOS attack currently.
We hope to have everything up very shortly and to keep the downtime to under 30 minutes.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hi guys,

I apologise for the downtime. This is actually the best time for you guys, knowing you'll get compensation for clicks which you don't have to worry about. However, I appreciate it's not an ideal situation and we are doing our best to get over it.

The attack is really big and is coming from Verizon IPs. We've got an army of people looking to pummel whoever's got nothing better to do on a rainy Thursday.
The compensation will run into thousands, but we'll make sure that you are not losing out on any of the earnings and that you are all fully compensated.

Sorry again for the inconvenience.

Ed

If you do have access to the firewall, you can scan and block the IP addresse(s).

Good luck.

I'll join that army. Pummeling those guys sounds like fun! :boxing:

Seems like one hell of a big DDOS....maybe they got mad about their rate per click from ND?

Hi guys,

Afraid there's nothing I can do. Our team have been going flat out for 8 hours now. We will make sure that the earnings for Thursday for everyone are not affected. Thank you for your patience.
