Any news when BCG is going to be up
Does any know the alternative IRC for BCG?. I removed it from my client when things appeared to be going smoothly again.
The alternative IRC for BCG isn't online any more I'm afraid, it was only set-up when we expected BCG to be going offline for a considerable amount of time in December 2013 since we were unsure about the future of the site, the reason is no longer relevant as this problem was fully resolved. The recent downtime however wasn't expected and has been caused entirely by another DDoS attack on top of various previous attacks, the host has been forced to null route BCG's server again temporarily (disconnected it from the network) to regain control, unfortunately this time it's taking a good while.Quote:

Site under massive DDoS attack ! We are working on it with our ddos provider thank you for your patience!
BCG appears to be down again. :(
Damn ddos script kiddy bastards have nothing better to do than take down such an awesome and useful site.
I hope this is over quicker than last time...
BCG down again? :(
Unfortunately I can confirm it's caused by yet another DDoS attack. I hoped we would only be null routed by the host for an hour or two this time for it to pass, but over 5 hours on so far it doesn't look like they're going to leave us alone so quickly. We can only sit this out again until it does eventually pass, hopefully we won't be down too long this time, but nothing is guaranteed with these relentless attacks I'm sorry to say. :(Quote:

My thoughts exactly! :bag:Quote:

In both cases the attacker uses very little bandwidth himself, but brings the target to its knees.
That's what yer mum called me before I unleashed my Low Orbiting Canon on her. :PQuote:

If that's indeed the case expect the indexers to get hit next. That'll be hilarious.Quote:

Or they are just some pissed off Brazilian kids :lol:

BCG back online again after yet another ddos, I wish whoever is behind it would please be really nice and give us a break this time at least. :)
PS: Only the tracker offline at the time of writing, but we should sort this soon.
Update: Tracker fixed now too, everything up and running!
Tracker is up :)
Sorry folks, BCG is back down again for the time being, no eta at the moment.
The hosts ISP have us on 24/7 watch, if the traffic impacts the network they are null routing the IP, well... as you can guess, we have been hit yet again :(
We seriously need to find out who's doing this and end it. If you want me to direct you to a few people I know IRL who deal in private security, who also have a decades worth of whitehat/black experience, let me know. They'll find this fucker/s in no time, that's what their paid to do, find people who attempt to be "anonymous". Then you can suggest what is done with any personal identity information that's obtained about them. If it were me, I'd post their entire personal identity info on Pastebin and other like sites as well as their credit/debit card info and bank login info, as well as any PayPal info that's found. I'd crucify the fucker and see if anybody else has the balls to try it again.Quote:

BCG just gone down again, the 24/7 host watch for abnormal traffic that affects the network has most likely null routed us again, but I didn't notice any problems just before like I usually do so unsure if it was a ddos or not as yet. Hoping we won't be down too long this time, but can't be sure.
Update: Back up again 10 mins later. :)
Update: Null routed again a few minutes after attempting to come back online again and it does now look like yet another ddos after all. We are working on trying to resolve the situation, but no eta at the moment I'm afraid. :(
Update: Expecting to be offline for a few days, maybe even a bit longer this time, but we are working on the problem and hopefully we will stay online when we do return next time. Please bear with us and thank you for everyone's support.
Damn. You guys must be run ragged with all the ddos's lately. Glad you guys aren't giving up, though I'd probably understand if you did. This must be frustrating as hell. :(Quote:
