Hello everyone,
The hosting provider just confirmed me that the problem with AA site now is a DDoS attack from the same guy who also attack Ubaid's site
http://www.invest-n-surf.com. For your information, 2 days ago I got an email from this guy and he asked for money and if I didn't pay him then he would attack AA site. Ubaid also got the same email before his site was attacked.
Every missed earnings for surf plan will be credited later, I will send an update about this when the site is up. For the time being, I still be active on forums. Below is the latest update from the hosting provider.
Hi Larry,
It seems now that although the network maintenance finished some hours ago, problems are continuing for a different reason. The problem now is a DDOS attack. Since you had a warning from someone this would happen if you didn't pay him, it seems likely of course that this is coming from him. As I said to you recently, we are equipped to handle most DDOS attacks, with the firewall and brute force defences we have in place. This was working up to a point - that is why some people could still successfully load the site sometimes. However, the scale of this attack is very large - more than a software firewall defence system can deal with. Also, the DDOS attacks on your site were bringing down all other sites on the server, so we have had to temporarily move you to a separate IP address to deflect the attack from others on the server. For the time being your site will be completely down and you may have to wait for the attack to end. We are however, still looking for altern
ative options for you - we can not promise anything yet, but will let you know we find.
Thanks for understanding that this situation is an extremely difficult one and while we are working for a solution, we can't give you any concrete promises for a solution yet.
