DoS attack= Denial of Service attack. Basically sending so many requests to a server as to overwhelm it and force it to stop working.tinymonkeyt said:whats a DoS attack?
Apparently they are a european team, but this doesnt mean that they need to have their website hosted in europe...Vereux0 said:Oh, great. A DoS. "ns1.china-dns-hosting.com"? I thought they were based in Europe.
They'll come up when the attack stops.minimonti said:Okay so this is the first site I've ever encountered gone down from DoS attack...
Anyone know when it would come back up?
Do they have to repair it or something?
Nope. If someone is DoS-ing their website, it's most likely a competitor ...SawFan4Life said:ugh. I've been wondering what the hell is going on.
Please tell me there's no way this is a 'strike against piracy' type thing?
Please.
