Title: Stop the madness - bitfloor underDDoS attack
Post by: internalzen on April 12, 2013, 02:25 am
I was checking to see if my transaction posted, and got this;

"Our servers are experiencing intermittent DDoS attacks. We are trying to resolve the situation for all of our users.

If you are coordinating a DDoS attack, please remember that bitcoin companies are not giant multinationals with huge support staff and computers. We are all involved because we want to see bitcoin succeed."

What dastardly a$$hats are behind this? Not .... dadadaaaaaaa ... North Korea I hope? Someone call Rodman and have him talk to Kim please.

Glad to see that you've gotten to the bottom of this. Good work.  ;)

I know BitFloor are saying it's a DDoS but I'm thinking that since Gox shut off for a bit everyone skipped on over to BitFloor and their servers couldn't take all the new hits at once and LOOKED like a DDoS. Ask Rodman to ask Kim though, I'd be interested to know if he had any part in this...
