Intermittent site outages - Jun 3 2013

[wdwmagic]

The WDWMAGIC sites may be unavailable for you intermittently due to a Denial of Service attack. We are currently working on a resolution.

I'm on Chrome, and it's giving me a message that the server can't be found. Yet I can post and read posts.(?)

Can you?

 

[wdwmagic]

Can you?

You will continue to have problems until fully resolved. I will update when things are back to 100%.

What's a "Denial of Service" attack?

And I've been having on and off problems all night with Chrome/Firefox/IE. Tried them all, but now realize it wasn't that.

I have been trying to get on the site for hours! I was finally able to get on the site after trying for many hours

 

[spectromagic04]

Im fine at times and then at times it wont load my page and it says error!

 

[wdwmagic]

Things should be improving now. Let me know if you have any further issues today. Thanks.

Did you relink DBs? Posts seem to be missing...?

Then again, I'm high on Chantix right now, and it's messing with me...so apologies in advance...

This is gonna mess with me, and I already sent my #2 at work a message to cut off my admin privs on our domain and servers...I think I need to take a day or two since they upped my dose...

Why would anyone care about a Disney message board enough to launch a DDOS attack against it? Any work on whether it was a mask to hide more nefarious intentions? Should we be changing our passwords?

It was actually directed at our DNS server, not the forum or site, so I do not see any concern about passwords etc.
