Project Airbus Host under DDOS attack

Post by Tranceaddict » 04 Jul 2010, 12:27

It was reported to us a little earlier today, our hosts were under a severe DDOS attack. This resulted in our servers and website being unavailable for access for approx 2 hours.

We are still awaiting further information but we're glad to see our forums and site is now back online.

Please be patient if you find the forums and website slow to open.


Thank you for your understanding.

The Project Airbus Team.

Distributed Denial of Service. Basically spamming the servers with tonnes of requests to either make it extremely slow or cause it to go offline

Wow, well this falls under the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act of 1996. So I hope they realize the possible outcomes of their stupid and very childish acts. Hopefully they have visited CyberCrime.gov before they did this.

Skip down to the pretty chart....
MATRIX 3: 18 U.S.C. § 1030(a)(5) [THE NEW LAW]

Glad to see you back anyways! Sorry to see that PAirbus has to put up with this garbage.

On a lighter note however, could Boeing be to blame? Image :lol:
