Another DDoS attack?

a reply to: Atsbhct

What monetization route are your referring to?

Our mitigation level is $1,400 a month at this point.

I've been writing a list of who could be responsible based on who gets criticised on here:

Muslims
Christians
Scientists
Blacks
Whites
Asians
Gays
Transgenders
Russians
Grey aliens (!)
Phage

I think if we can uncover an LGBTMCSBWAGTRGP+ group, we can nail the culprits. If anyone sees a Bible-carrying, white male in a pink burkha speaking Russian with an Iranian accent, please contact SO.

Is it just me ?

Or do those ddos attacks seem to be happening around the same time for the past few days ?


Automated bot attacks or what ??

Heyyyyyyyyyyyy. Now wait a guldarm minute.
It took me twenty minutes to post a snarky reply a while ago.

Do you mean "Phage" as in the member Phage? Anywho, that's a long list. One thing you forgot is guns or anti guns.

ETA: I see he popped in while I was typing. Talk about timing.

a reply to: Phage

Hahaha, yeah man, lay off a little, you're affecting my ATS experience

a reply to: SkepticOverlord

If ATS was a members only site, where members pay fees (like you've talked about in the past) instead of relying on ad revenue mostly from lurkers, as most of us don't see ads...would that deny access to indexing bots, etc. that might cause server issues?

Do you guys know where the attacks stem from?

a reply to: Phage

Aha the culprit shows his face and provides an alibi!!!

You're a ballsy man Phage (IF that's your real name).

a reply to: Phage
It took that long? Are you tired? Usually it seems like you come up with them in seconds.

By definition, DDOS attacks come from "everywhere."
That's the first "D", distributed.

a reply to: Skid Mark

I said, "to post."

a reply to: Phage

I bet ATS gets "the D" more than some members.

a reply to: Atsbhct
Are you talking about the second "D?"

a reply to: Phage

Some members likely are in denial.

a reply to: Atsbhct

Yeah.
Denial of ignorance. Right?

a reply to: Phage

Suuuuure...

Don't worry ATS it's not just this forum there were others UFO forums as well at the same time,i got through ATS by using twitter

Really just beckons the why ?.....

I will hazard a guess and say the hacks are coming from disgruntled members ...

a reply to: hopenotfeariswhatweneed

That there is intent is, of course, likely. But by nature and necessity, a DDOS attack comes from many places. The majority of which are unaware that they are doing it. It's done via "infected" machines. No way to identify the perp.

How badly dissed would someone's gruntle need to be to pay $100s on this game??

Whilst that can never be entirely dismissed, the greater probability is that it's a group with more resources at hand than one person. It could be political due to some content on ATS or collateral in the sense that it's part of something wider.
