Here it is for ya, near the beginning of the story:hmm i didnt read that it took the server " to it's knees"
infact doesnt it say "it is slowing the servers down a little" ?
either way , its certainly possible for one ip to cause big enough problems to notice, especially if they are using the nats admin panel with one of nats passwords
Another said his network of Web servers developed severe performance issues "over a year ago." He said investigation by his hosting company revealed repeated access attempts by someone using a NATS admin-level username and password.
"The servers were going down like 10-15 times a day," he said. "Our hosting company stabilized them and secured them by blocking IP addresses, unnecessary requests, et cetera. They said it had been hacked [by someone] in the main office."-Robbie

how can someone trying to log in slow a server down? Unless it's attempted multiple times a minute from several IPs, I can't imagine it would have any effect on a server no matter how crappy the server is. The only thing that might have effected the server is if he did get in and was dumping the database.
There. I just tried logging in with the wrong user/pass on my NATS admin, and server load didn't go up at all.. LOL

You obviously don't read well, do you? They said that by blocking the IP of the attacker, it was slowing the servers down a bit. Which it would, if you have 100s of 1000s of hits on a major box and you are running each of those against a blacklist, it will cause some overhead to be consumed doing that."When everything hit the boards, we went back to check [our server logs] and found the same admin account trying to access our servers every hour," he said Friday. "The IP [address] block was the same one that was blocked over a year ago, so [the person using the account] couldn't get in. It is slowing down the servers a little bit, but they're not actually getting in."
That is a quote from the story... So supposedly some big site had their servers brought down to their knees by ONE IP address attempting to log in and fail? Does anybody ever proof read or use common sense with these stories? This is almost as factual as a Bill OReilly story.Comment

No, they said it took their servers down 10 to 15 times a day! LOL! And it was someone hacking from the "Main Office" Whatever the fuck that means.

i fail to see anything about bringing the server "to its knees" perhaps my old eyes decieve meHere it is for ya, near the beginning of the story:
Another said his network of Web servers developed severe performance issues "over a year ago." He said investigation by his hosting company revealed repeated access attempts by someone using a NATS admin-level username and password.
"The servers were going down like 10-15 times a day," he said. "Our hosting company stabilized them and secured them by blocking IP addresses, unnecessary requests, et cetera. They said it had been hacked [by someone] in the main office."
invisible ink ?
severe performance issues does NOT equal bringing a server to its knees. if a site is up and able to be knocked off that would lead me to believe it certainly wasn't "on its knees"
and like i said regardless it is certainly possible for one ip to cause "severe performance issues" so the point is kinda moot right ?hatisblack at yahoo.comComment

Educate me...how does ONE IP attempting to log in and failing bring servers down 10 to 15 times a day. I honestly don't know how that would work.-Robbie

well first you would have to learn to read properly.
they didnt block the user until AFTER they had the performance issues
""The servers were going down like 10-15 times a day," he said. "Our hosting company stabilized them and secured them by blocking IP addresses"
once the user was blocked the server stabilized.
the user did not "fail" to get in , they got in and were dumping databases causing the server to stall, they got busted got blocked , the server returned to normal other than failed requests , nats was notified .hatisblack at yahoo.comComment

i fucking hate stories where they dont name anyone who is making the allegations. All this program owner says this and that but never say who they are. It sounds contrived to me.No doubt one may quote history to support any cause, as the devil quotes scripture.
