Sorry everyone, we have been busy with the problem and are just now getting to the boards.
We have been experiencing DOS Attacks. These were intermittent yesterday and then again early this morning. Our Tech Team is on the issue and we have our full crew in the office working the problem. We won?t post any ways that we are fighting this as the hacker will just use that information to attack us even more.
We have been very fortunate that we were not ?down?, just not able to get all attempts through. The situation is much better now, however we continue to watch and fight as best we can.
Please understand that the same thing can happen to any webmaster or billing company ? it even happened to GFY. A couple of weeks ago one of our competitors experienced the same attack; a few weeks before that another had a similar attack. This is nothing more than a person, or persons, trying to extort money from us and hurting our business and yours in the process.
We ask that no matter where you process that you hang in there with your processor. You should not let these parasites win by moving business. We fully understand that you have your own concerns, but remember that we have 99% up time and when an event like this happens, as it always will, sooner or later, that 1% will seem huge. We can?t control what you do during these times, we just ask that you be patient and be assured that we are doing everything possible to minimize the adverse impact of this attack on us all.
Thanks,
C
