The Truth Behind Frequent Downtime ON Some Companies
 

Well i dont know if this is the truth but lately I have been hearing a lot about downtimes on sponsor programs and CC processors maybe this has to do with it. I say it is time for a heads up, this could happen to any of you and like you will see in this article you may be willing to pay just to stay online.

When this kind of stuff happens to a sponsor or CC company I think it would be helpfull to put pride aside and ask for help. The difference between this BetCris and Adult sponsor is that their own customers are savy enough (or at least have more computer knowledge) to find the responsible hacker.

just my
:2 cents:

Good article I wonder what the percentage is for the adult community? If anybody has experiance with this please share...

Just get a decent host that is capable and experienced in doing DDOS protections. :2 cents:

It says BetCris hired a consultant (Barrett Lyon) to help them, and that he was the one who help bust these guys. I don't see anything saying that their customers found the hackers.

That doesn't solve the problem if your cc processing company isn't on a good host.

That is exactly my point. We are the sponsors customers we have a better chance to find the hacker than regular customers (end users) since we are affected i think it would be good practice to say hey fellas i am such sponsor program this is happening help us out. in the end we all make money cause we dont waist clicks on sites that do not respond

TRUE but from what I am reading that is not even working anymore like they say these hackers are getting good at it. I know there are many ways around firewalls and that the basic attack is to flood your bw no one has unlimited bw to their name you have a cap somewhere all they have to do is flood it
