Alertpay down.. DDoS Attack!
December 6, 2008 | Labels: DDos Attack | |Yes, you got it! Alertpay was attacked and down. The massive DDoS attack made the site inaccessible for users and I'm a little bit worried about it as I have a lot of fund in it and incoming funds also. The issues settled quickly by Alertpay team and this demonstrate the reliability and stability of Alertpay team. Hopefully they will be as strong as PayPal in the future. This is the official statement from Alertpay;
We have finally mitigated the massive DDOS attack that started at 6:00am EST. Unfortunately it took almost all day to resolve. The site is operational now, and hopefully we'll continue to tweak it more tomorrow to ensure this doesn't happen again.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and we understand that this outage affects each of you personally. We’re sorry for that. We will continue to put measures in place so that outages like this do not occur again.

Oh I got scared, as I just yesterday exchanged $130 from PP to AP. Good to hear they've survived it without problems.

haha areryp. mmg pun. tak sempat nak tulis sblm ni, tapi just a notice yg DDoS attack ni bukan takat kena ptc site je, yg besar2 pun dia serang. tak kasik can. tak balik raya ke?
Alertpay is really good. Taking a huge ddos and bouncing back the same day shows that they have a solid system in place. Others sites i know went down for 2-3 days on a ddos. Great job alertpay.
