for the past few days we have been under attack from France, 2 companies, so this morning I had enough and blocked France for now
the hackers are

the server loads sure have dropped , lol, from 10 to .9
maybe this is the reason the hard drive went out, was them running hundreds of scripts on us.

Still getting the odd "Server is busy" message.

[Ickie]

still working on these scammers trying to block them without blocking France where they live and protected by the government.

it smells don't it.:a1089:

[Ickie]

sorry I had to block France again :beaten:

[Daube]

Ah ok, that's why I couldn't log on from home...
No issues, I hope these problems are solved soon. :)

[Ickie]

Boy am I sorry for blocking France, but it appears impossible to stop these 2 from running hundreds of scripts using hundreds of IP's, bring us to our knee's.

when I ask them to stop I get a get FU** You from them
Maybe it takes someone from France to get their government to step in
:173go1:
or is it the French government posin as them?

[sixstrings5859]

I don't trust the French government at all.

Or maybe French government just don't care or has other more important issues enough to care of...

IIRC, in Europe it is the website owner responsibility to ensure the security of user's personal data, that's why these kind of issues cannot be solved in a simple manner. This plus web-police forces just don't have manpower enough to control everything that happens out there...

[Ickie]

Dammed if we do and :dizzy: Dammed if we don.t
but I think it has been figured out.:pop4:

[Ickie]

were not the only ones getting a slow down
