Apology

[rainy]

I apologize for the downtime of the server. When it went down yesterday, I thought it ws a network problem, but this morning my provider informed me that the server had been used for DOS attacks and therefore been taken offline. I just now sorted all the paperworks with the provider and managed to bring the server back up again.

Touch wood - looks like whoever did it did not touch the data.

Bastards. The hackers, not the ISP. :p

erm.... like what stuff could they obtain from 'hacking' our site? :bitenails:

[TG]

They didn't hack our site. The server the site is residing on was hacked in order to load nasty Denial of Service (DOS) attack programs.

[Bass]

Yowser ! Was wondering what happened.

Thanks Rainy !! :)

[rainy]

Yes. They were using one of the additional IPs, not the main IP. Also there are a few sites running on the server besides the geeks site.
