Title: Darkscribes got attacked!? Author: (Tom)
If you haven't noticed, Darkscribes has been offline for the better part of today.? Yeah, I just noticed this about half an hour ago.? It seems that Darkscribes was attacked with a Denial of Service attack.? Ended up eating through almost 15 GB, yes.. you read right, 15 gigabytes of data in within one day!? The access log file had over 290 thousand accesses from a single IP address, I don't know about you but I think that constitutes as a Denial of Service attack.
I have determined the offending address and have blocked access to the site on the web server level.? I am in contact with the web hosting company that hosts Darkscribes to see what they can do about it.
