DDOS AttackFollow

We are still under periodic distributed denial of service attack (DDOS).

While the engineering team here at zam.com is working around the clock to mitigate and prevent future attacks, at times our systems are simply overwhelmed. Recently, a bandwidth flood of over 3Gig/sec traffic caused our ISP to take our network offline. We're continuing to work with our ISP to find permanent scaleable solutions to this problem.

We apologize for the interruption in service caused by this, and are working with law enforcement to track down the origin of the attack.

Any leads? Or are you making sure not to discuss this on the boards in the chance that the culprits are watching?

Edit: For the record, this was a serious question. Not sure why I'm default. Smiley: frown Don't be hatin' just 'cause you can't sucessfully knock Alla off the internet permenantly. Smiley: lol

I'm kinda hoping that it ends up being Godraiden that's responsible for it. I want allah to tell us who it is, televize his arrest, trial, and susequent jail sentence.

We'll make him wear a cornflower-blue sun dress and make him 'share' a cell with BT, Nixnot, and Hellboy for 24 hours.

This intrigues me. I'm pretty sure I missed last Easter due to working out of town the entire time. I didn't get any of these.

of course... its all starting to come together now...

they don't like alla... they are obviously skillful hackers... they know the wombat's one weakness...

I must ponder this some more... i shall craft a good solid theory based on the evidence, and present my findings at some point in the near future for you to laugh at.

Smiley: glare

. . .

edit:

Huzzah! I did some digging, used a few resources i won't name, and used some logic...

I found out who's been DDOSing alla!

Its obviously the infamous 4-rodent Rebel group, the Alfalfa pack.

Name: Gerald "Foxy tan" Hamster
Profession: Team Leader, planner, strategist
Reasons: Over-worked Alla Power-Hamster, suffering from a psychotic break

Name: Francis "Brains" Gerbil
Profession: Hacker, Firewall Breaker
Reasons: the OoT and the Asylumn hated on him. hard.

Name: Bubba "The Bullet" Guinea Pig
Profession: Muscle
Reasons: Family killed by wombats, forced him to turn to a life of crime
now he's out for revenge

Name: Henry "Quick Fingers" Mouse
Profession: Thief, Recon Expert
Reasons: bored, in it for the adreneline rush

Bubba deals with the wombats, Francis breaks through, and Henry and Gerald proceed to wreak havoc by unleashing their horde of mutant cyborg hamsters.

this explains everything! now the question is... how do you combat genious, mentally unstable rodents with a horde of mutant cyborg hamsters? Smiley: dubious

If it's bad for the aliens, I can't imagine it's much better for the hamsters.

Heyas - Alla's was down for me for the past few days; Were you upgrading hardware/maintenance to prevent the DDOS from happening again, or were you the unhappy recipients of another DDOS attack?
