jwj8741 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Wow, I was wondering what was going on this morning. I just can't believe the little punk thought that you would let him back on with a threat. What a moron! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisnpuppy Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I hope you sue their sorry butts. My kid ever pulled a stunt like this I would take them behind the woodshed and blister their bottoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Update at 2pm GMTThe attacks are still going on but the effects are utterly negligible to you, the user. The malicious traffic isn't even reaching the servers and is simply being blocked by various router and firewall policies. As such service should be "as normal" for all visitors now. Just want to do a shout out to my friends at Krystal, a company I helped found many years ago, who have been hosting the Nexus sites for the past couple of years. As soon as they found out about the problem they had two guys on it and practically stopped the attack within minutes. They continue to provide service above and beyond my expectations. If you're looking for some (UK based) hosting for your website then I could recommend no one better for the job than Krystal hosting, and if you use the coupon code "Nexus" when purchasing you'll get 50% off your order, because they like us and we like them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N3C14R Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I wonder how much the attacks drove up the bandwidth costs lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 I've got unmetered bandwidth, so on my end it didn't drive it up at all. Can't say the same for him ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRampage Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Oh. And he has a new message on twitter: Message to the thenexusforums.com my new account was banned i proclaim war ddos now will be 24/7 every day i hope your project dies fast ! ^^ Idiot.Hahaha. Did this "person" seriously think he could actually be successful in bringing down the nexus on his own? Besides, if the guys at Krystal indeed stopped his first attack within minutes, he'll never even be able to stand a chance to bring down the Nexus ever again. Anyway, did he actually think the Nexus is just some "project"? :laugh: On another note: Don't know how it is in Latvia, but if you put a message like that on twitter where I live, you might expect a visit from the police within 1 or 2 days.
