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)

Say hello to izzatruslan.com!

hi there!

This is my new blog and new blog url, and this will be the blog that i will blogging after this and later on. So, say goodbye to my previous blog at blogger.com. Personally said, i’m happy blogging at blogger.com and blogger.com for me is the best free blog platform ever. After blogging about 10 months, i decided to own my own domain and hosting for my blog. Before this, about 2 years ago, i already have a domain for myself, but seem at that time i really busy with my study (preparing for SPM exam) so i don’t have time to manage it so it is just a waste.LOLS..
