PEcash Fights DDoS Attack
 

PEcash fights DDoS attack

The entire network of PEcash online stores has been under an intense DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack that began on Friday, September 10th and has continued to ramp up through today.
By Saturday morning September 11th, all attempts to increase server performance and increase bandwidth had failed. By Saturday afternoon we had an agreement with THE best DDoS protection service available.
It has taken another 24-48 hours to implement this service, tweak the service and propagate the DNS that brings all our relocated stores back online.

As of this morning, Monday September 13th we are 100% fully restored.
We are continuing to monitor the situation.

The good news is that our agreement with the DDoS protection service keeps us protected from DDoS attacks in the future. In fact, we are so impressed with the service and their technicians that we would not consider doing business without them from this point forward.

I would like to thank all our affiliates who know us and trust us and realize that an outage like this is very uncharacteristic of our service, history and company philosophies.

At the same time, I would like to apologize to all our affiliates for not notifying you sooner. The recovery from this attack has been all consuming and without going into great detail, there were security reasons we could not announce this sooner. Most companies would not even admit to having
experienced a DDoS attack, even after it has been brought under control, but we know we owe you an explanation.

To those who think they can find better service elsewhere, all I can say is when a DDoS attack hits, no one is safe.

To our competitors, all I can say is, when it happens to you, give me a call and I'll tell you what your options are to minimize the impact.

Due to security precautions, I cannot reveal any more information about who the DDoS service protection company is, or any numbers regarding the volume of the attack, so please don't ask.

What a fucking weekend…

Good to hear you fought it off :)

Seems like more programs had these kind of attacks over the weekend.

Hey Fonz,

We are happy we were able to find a working solution.

Which other programs were hit? I hope they were able to escape the attack, too.

my stores are down right now..

Mine's up now - I forgot to look yesterday.

But looks like things are back to normal now :)

still down for me..

Your store - http://store.sex-superstore.com/cgi-...ex.cgi?af=6883 - look open to me :)

Not here yet thats a dead link here.. Thanks for trying

I wonder if they had to switch DNS & your hasn't propagated yet?

I think ip, ohio should have it if new york has it..

No web site is configured at this address

That's what I get. Hope it comes up soon for ya' plateman.

Plateman - states have nothing to do with it - ISP's update their own DNS info, usually once a day, but some are slower than others.
