It has been a rough three weeks dealing with massive
DDOS and BOT attacks. I still do not understand why
people think it is funny to disrupt people`s lives. But
I assure you, that we have made it through this issue
I want to take the time explain what was happening but
first I want to put an end to all rumors or posts on
forums that Online Capital is going away. Online
Capital is not going anywhere. We are a profitable
business and we have continued to earn great returns
for our entire client base. In fact, we are so strong
as a business and our Forex trading is doing so well
they we have had an offer by a businessman, known
worldwide, to invest over $200M in the ownership of our
company. This alone should show the strength of Online
Capital. We will keep you up to date on the progress of
this investment into Online Capital.
Some of you have been experiencing slight delays that
we are having with pending withdrawals and pending
deposits. Please accept our apologies and I believe
when you read everything below you will understand why
such delays are happening
In the previous letter to our clients I talked about
the DDOS and BOT attacks but even after that letter we
continued to get bombarded with more attacks. The
company that helps protect us from these problems is
Prolexic and the way they describe these attacks says
it all. They said someone had declared war on Online
Capital. Prolexic pointed out that those people who are
attacking Online Capital were disrupting the servers by
accessing our mail servers, forum servers and such.
This is why it was very difficult to respond back to
your requests
If you could imagine this is what was happening. Our
servers were getting hit with over a million requests
from the DDOS and BOT attacks each day. Add to that our
100,000 clients also sending emails each days asking
for information. These requests were adding more strain
to the already locked up servers, so much so that we
were unable to access the server ourselves
But I can say with confidence, we have finally won. We
have taken more steps to increase our protection from
DDOS attacks. Our main URL`s and IP addresses have been
under Prolexic`s protection. However, our mail servers,
forum servers and few smaller items have their own
individual IP addresses and this was what made OC
vulnerable to the attacks. They were not under the
protection of Prolexic. Prolexic recommended we move
ALL of our IP addresses under their protection and that
is what we have done
Now if the attackers try another DDOS attack they will
not be able to connect to our IP`s directly. All they
will find is one BIG PROLEXIC IP ADDRESS. So they can
only attack that Prolexic IP address and not any of
ours. Leaving OC to once again conduct business without
trouble from DDOS attacks. This will allow our lines of
communication and information to once again flow
freely! At present, I have seen on the forums that
other programs are also under attack so I know we were
not alone in our battle but this is not much
consolation for all of our members who were having such
frustrations in getting a response back from Online
Capital
As a result of these attacks the issue of good
communication has been brought to the forefront and we
are implementing a new strategy to keep our members up
to date. We are going to be stepping up our
communications with weekly critical news updates and
daily reports to our clients
We, at Online Capital, are very proud of what we have
been able to accomplish and our phenomenal growth. In
the past 3 months we have gone from 75,000 members to
100,000 members. 100,000 members are like a small city.
And we have for the most part operated Online Capital
very efficiently. Just like in any city there is the
occasional problem but we work through those
successfully and move on. For the most part, we have
processed deposits, withdrawals and referrals properly
and efficiently
So I ask you to look at the last three weeks, NOT as a
failure or beginning of the end but as a SUCCESS STORY
about a company who fought hard and won and still
maintained their integrity
So where do we go from here? Well, we will process all
the requests for withdrawals and new deposits and
continue to grow our members money. I want to thank
many of you for your confidence during this time
because we still had a very strong three weeks of
deposits even during these DDOS attacks
I would like to address all of you who have requested
withdrawals. I am speculating that the large amount of
withdrawals is due to the fact that our members were
concerned about the future of Online Capital and the
safety of their investment. We will handle all of the
withdrawals as requested. However, if you are
withdrawing because of concerns for the safety of your
money then hopefully we have addressed those concerns
and it is no longer necessary to process your
withdrawal. Perhaps you might just want to keep the
money in your account so you can continue to earn the
great profits that our programs bring to our clients
The choice is yours. We will process all the
withdrawals, I only make the suggestion above because I
sincerely want all of our clients to make the most
money possible
I hope that this letter helps give everyone a better
idea of what has been happening over the past three
weeks and gives you a better sense of confidence that
we are past the problems and that we have taken the
steps to permanently end the attacks.
This is a very exciting time for Online Capital. We
have grown so much; and we have some of the best Forex
traders in the world. We have been able to earn 1% and
more PER DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK, for our clients. And it is
an honor to be part of something that is just getting
better every day
I look forward to having a long and prosperous time
working with all of you
Sincerely,
Vince Campbell
