Friendster Scheduled Maintenance Effect: Friends List Lost

Salam and hello to all. Do you have a Friendster account? Have you ever log in into your Friendster account lately? If you do, you might notice that there’s some error occurred on your Friendster’s profile. For your information, Friendster has run their regular scheduled maintenance on 14 November 2008 till 15 November 2008. Its about 2 days of maintenance and its rarely for Friendster to take up to 2 days for regular maintenance because based on previous maintenance, they usually took about few hours.

Ok here is the problem that I want to highlight. I logged in into my Friendster account on 15 November 2008 and I already know that Friendster currently undergoing maintenance mode on 14 November. But seems it already 15 November which about 1 day after the maintenance mode, I thought that Friendster already can be accessed as usual. But I’m wrong, connection to Friendster is still too slow but luckily I still can log in. For the first time, I didn’t noticed anything but when I tried to view one of my friends profile, it shows that I didn’t add them as my friend yet. But their profiles are already in my friends list. I started noticed something weird when I saw my total friends list on my profile is only 9! 9 from 1xx! Where all the rest of them? My first thought is it might be something to do with the latest Friendster maintenance. I tried to view more profiles of my friends, but the result turns the same. I can’t view their profiles since most of my friends set their profiles as private and can’t add them back since I already forgot their emails and last names, and even the remaining 9 profiles in my friends list now also inaccessible. What the heck happened to Friendster?

DDOS Attack on My Hosting

Salam and hello everyone. If you notice yesterday, the connection to this website quite slow and sometimes got internal server error message. At first, I didn’t know what the cause of this matter but last night, while chatting with Sam (Serverfreak Support), he said the servers have been attacked by DDOS attack hence cause the network and connection to the server becomes slow.

What is DDOS attack? Mr. Wiki got the answer.

A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. Although the means to carry out, motives for, and targets of a DoS attack may vary, it generally consists of the concerted, malevolent efforts of a person or persons to prevent an Internet site or service from functioning efficiently or at all, temporarily or indefinitely. Perpetrators of DoS attacks typically target sites or services hosted on high-profile web servers such as banks, credit card payment gateways, and even DNS root servers.

I didn’t chat too long with Sam since at the time I chat with him, there’s another DDOS attack. But anyway, hope this problem can be solve asap. Anyway, sorry for any inconveniences for those who are surfing this blog.

But I think the attacks already stopped since the connection to the blog quite fast right now, maybe need time to fully recover from the attack. Anyway, thanks for Sam for his hard work. He already didn’t sleep for 5 days. Ok, that just for your information.

I also noticed that some of other blogs which are hosted at Serverfreak also inaccessible such as Knizam.com and Topotato.com. I don’t know if the problem is cause by the same reason but it seems I can’t access their website in the past few days. I already tried to connect to their blog using both UMobile and Maxis Broadband but still I got the page tells the page can’t be viewed. At first I thought it might be because of the ISP itself, but trying on another ISP also come out with the same result. Till now I still can’t access their blog.

p/s: have you experienced ddos attack before?

UPDATE: IzzatRuslan.com was down for 3 hour 30 minutes from 7.35am today, so sorry for any incoveniences. But, the connection seems going back to normal already. (3.34PM)
