Forum Down - Fixed, Down again - Fixed

Post by DJKeefy »

Well someone decided to hack us (DDoS attack), I can not see the reason what they would gain from this?

The forum might be a bit slow for a while or unavailable for short periods, until all is fix properly and updated.

sorry for any inconvenience.

Thanks DJKeefy good work. I suggest members change their passwords as most hackers want usernames and passwords

No need to, the forum was not accessed that way, it was a DDoS attack.

A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack is a cyberattack where multiple compromised systems flood a target server or network with traffic, aiming to overwhelm it and make it unavailable to legitimate users

Russians.

I hear russians tourists are flying into Hurghada really,
I thought he 'stalin had conscripted every available bodied man or woman,
to fight for the glory of 'mother russia, against that nazi regime down in ukraine.

I imagine the russians working behind bars ect in Hurghada stuck around especially when Putin went to
claim back another bit of mother russia..lol... 8)

Ps: They say a combatant can earn 2000 roubles a month..

It really doesn't matter how much they can earn, once they're dead they cannot spend it!

Yes I ask the same question when many Russians are flooding the Egyptian market (Luxor excluded) also Turkey and Thailand seem to be popular as well with daily flights to these sun spots.
