DDOS Attacks On Cable Box Websites

Hi Folks

Those of you that actively use the cable forums will have noticed the majority of the big cable box sellers websites are down or have been down at some stage over the past 7 days.

All of these websites have been under DDOS attack.

It is very suspicious that all the big cable box sellers websites have been under attack at some stage or another over the last few days.

Those of you wondering who i am, i am the owner of DVB Junkie UK. My site has been under attack since 10.30PM tonight. I managed to identify the hit within 10 minutes of it happening.

Over the last few days Sky Wonder, Wizard Satellite, TheBox Distribution, Iwantabox, Satandcable have also been under DDOS attack. One of the other cable forums is under attack also Tech Watch.

Who ever is doing this is specifically targeting the cable box sellers & cable forums also.

I just thought i would make people aware of the situation.

Cheers

 

yep i noticed that today . i could not get into a few sites i was looking for. so should we be worried or are they just trying to piss people off?

 

do you think it is the cable companys that are doing this?

 

not the run of the mill attack,something else brewing hmmm.

 

There still down today , well i think you'd agree that because the attacks are directed against certain suppliers the finger of suspicion falls very heavily on a certain ring fenced industry which historically has had a past of shady dealings and industrial espionage , those who play this game will in time reap what they sow...silly boys

 

Hi Folks

It gets even worse.

The web designer who made the majority of the websites has now also been ddos attacked.

This is a very well organised attack.

I should have my website back up by the end of the weekend hopefully.

Cheers
