has anyone been on the revo irc channel to see what happened?
I was connected to the site yesterday, and spoke to someone who was in IRC and they were getting a massive DDOS attack. I wish there was someplace we could get official news?
Hopefully they can get RevTT back on or if anybody gets any new info if they could post in here it would be great. Thanks
DDOS makes sense as I can not resolve DNS for RevTT at the moment
Getting redirects for RevTT Now.
There are many sites getting dDos attacks atm - some sort of concerted attack. Funny that other similar sites are not getting attacked ?
All sorts of conspiracy theories abound :)
Anti-piracy resorting to underhand methods ?
Is the redirect ok? I get a warning and want to make sure that it is safe to login. Thanks
Use Sandboxie to check. It will keep you 100% safe.Quote:

Nevermind, all are having site issues.
BCG is another one down now, site and tracker... :(
What does sandboxie do to make browsing the web safer? I use it for opening a program like Steam multiple times but never considered using it for anything else.Quote:

BCG still down.
Sandboxie is nice, if you are ever iffy about anything, run it through sandboxie first. Guaranteed to extend the life of your OS. ;)
GFT is down.
Now bmtv is down also. WTF! is going on i now i have nothing left to use other than public sites which i try to avoid since i do not want anymore legal action letters.
Sandboxie is great, yes. I've been using it since '07 and it's proven extremely helpful to try things without contaminating the rest of the system. Not everything works on it though, and that's when VirtualBox kicks in. :PQuote:

Gft still down
BTN still down, getting nervous now.....
CG has now hit with a DDOS as well. They're encouraging their members to keep calm. But most of them are stoned, so that was their first inclination anyway.
Seriously, though, hoping it's back up soon. Solid gold.
BTN back up. Yeah
CG is back up (if anyone can see this; it looks like my post announcing that it had been DDOS-attacked wasn't approved for some reason)! Man, that didn't take long at all. Just another reason I love those guys.
ARGH! Getting very anxious. :cry:Quote:

Give yourselves a laugh by seeing this guy posing as the attacker and trying to blackmail WhatCD : https://twitter.com/Sil3ntlyKilling
BitTorrent is serious business.Quote:

Yes, they should leave their torrents running, but no, they should not keep updating them. If they can't log into the site, there's a good chance the tracker is down. If they can log in, there's a good chance the tracker will be up. Yes, they may lose seed time and seed bonus if applicable. Yes, they may be falsely accused of H&R, but the staff are aware of this....
So a little light relief is always welcome, no? :)
Thegft is back
Read this as "Theft is back". :happy:Quote:

whats up with ftn?
Do you guys not look back a bit through the posts ?
Since several days now there has been a multi dDos attack on many sites which has brought many down. Some have succesfully fought the attack and managed to remain up if shakily, some have been up and down, some have just gone off air for the duration, and some have mostly lost the battle to stay up. The dDos costs bandwidth too, so it is often cheaper just to shut down, or take action which results in the same effect on users.
It's getting to be old news now, but read here, although these three are only three of many, many more : http://torrentfreak.com/ddos-attacks...ackers-140106/
Thanks for that,it's been to long since I was last on her,now I know what is happening thankyou :)Quote:

It's a race to see whether officialdom gets to the culprits before unofficial peeps get to them. Personally, I hope it's not officialdom that gets them :)
And I would so love to be in a position where I would be among one of those to get them.................................
Unfortunately, it's still going on, and some sites are still down, but the odd one is up now. I won't enumerate them, but if your fave site is not coming up when you go to log in, at least you'll have a good idea why not......
