@KD - You assumed right - I can read German (Having lived in München for a year certainly helped)

@Rodus - My name is not Chuck Norris! Laughing

I have already signed up with AWK - So in essence I have stopped looking for now

I automatically punch 0 at the first hint of a recorded message. Although a couple of times this has meant an inadvertant beep in someones ear. Some people just sound like machines...

Captain's Log, Stardate 2007 mark Sept Pimm's No.26

Our new starship command has installed our brand new server! - I have just logged in and am busy setting up!

Lets not get too carried away though. I need to do quite a bit of setting up and testing I certainly hope they can live up to the promise of anti ddos mitigation!

I will let you know how the tests are proceeding!

Err, before this gets out of hand, I happen to know that Rover speaks a language remotely related to German, and speakers of both of those languages can usually understand (in reading) about 70% of what's going on in the other.

Hence my assumption.

You mean Rover speaks native Teletubbian ? Shocked

I am almost done with migrating to our NEW isp.

Usernames - Moved
Premium user websites - Moved
Forums - Moved
Secret Ninja hideout - Moved
Databases - In Progress

Once we are completely moved over I will bring down this system in order to move the database's across

PS: To all the newly signed up premium members - Once we have moved I will activate your accounts

Today's storyboard - short and sweet.

Now, could somebody photochop Reprob8's avatar onto that?

Posted: Thu Sep 27, 2007 7:23 pm

I will be bringing down this server in 10 mins in order to move the database over to the new server ! time to test!

Posted: Thu Sep 27, 2007 8:47 pm

I have moved over to the new isp!

I brought up the server and the attack started right away!

I have sent a report in to them - lets see how this gets handled!

In the mean time we stay here!

Gosh, we are popular then Shocked

Keep up the good work Rover. I'll kiss you later.

The attack followed to a new, undisclosed IP? That fast? Shocked

This is getting interesting...

Posted: Thu Sep 27, 2007 9:49 pm

^^^^

Not surprising. Most bots now do a domain lookup just incase sneaky victims quickly move their sites.

Posted: Thu Sep 27, 2007 10:46 pm

I expected them to follow us. As lokkie says - they are following the domain name - in this case forum.419eater.com - the moment the ip address changes they update themselves and whalla

I'm seriously reaching a point of wanting these lads' balls for breakfast. Evil or Very Mad

I'd rather feed them their own cojones Evil or Very Mad

After personally slicing them off with shards of broken vodka bottle.

When things get back to normal what would be really nice is a message on the frontpage telling the Vlads where to go. Maybe I missed it but does anyone know where all this is originating from?

Posted: Fri Sep 28, 2007 12:21 am

So far so good! even with the attack in full force scamwarners.com is now up and running! - now working on eater! hang in there ninjas

Yeah. A big thankyou note for helping us to realise that upgrading our security will allow our fight against scammers to continue harder, smarter and safer than ever before.

The continued attacks must be ringing up the bills in vlad land Laughing

Posted: Fri Sep 28, 2007 2:37 am

I'm fairly close ninjas! Laughing

I will finish it off in the morning I'm pretty beat up at the moment!

Some of you should be able to get into forum.419eater.com soon - please keep trying!

You can also try deltaforce.redirectme.net

if you get to any of those servers you will be on the new 419eater server

Posted: Fri Sep 28, 2007 8:04 am

Someone needs to come up with a sort of frequency hopping script to prevent this kind of attack. Anyone that could do that would clean up. Cool
