AR Outage last night
Around 10 PM EDT a massive Denial of Service Attack was launched against Accurate Reloading's servers. It came from Asia.

I"ll run some IP numbers to narrow it down.

Not if it came from Asia butchloc, they eat lions bones so they can get it up!

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

I've now gone over the log, it started in Moscow and India. There is a smattering of Nigeria, Ukraine, Bulgaria, and China. The bulk is Russian and Eastern Europe.

There are a few from Western Europe but I think the way this works is servers get infected and wait for a signal to start a DOS attack.

In any case, the first attacks started in Moscow and surrounding areas, then India, then from ALL OVER.

If this were because of Cecil I think it would be different.

In any case, by shutting off the server from the router for a few hours it passed and we have been unaffected all day.

Perhaps it was in response to all the discussion over the Ukraine.

Here's a link to a website that shows attacks occurring in real-time, can be freaky/spooky at times:
