Seriously as easy as it is to kill a DDOS attack how overused is the term "DDOS Attack". It seems no matter what happens with anything related to bitcoin if there is a problem the first thing we hear is DDOS this and DDOS that.

So hashfast is saying there is a DDOS attack, thats fine however, what i thought was funny tho was this line in their statement.

"In order to retain the ability to communicate with users and separate priority emails from spam, we have implemented a functional e-mails coming through the payment of BTC. That is, to ensure the expeditious processing of your letter, you need to pay a small amount through the interface shown below."

So from what i am reading here basically if you want to have customer service from them to answer your questions you must pay them for this. They cant get the site back up and running properly because the staff who is in charge of that is on vacation, however they did have the correct person to code, implement and publish a whole new index.html file with a email button that I am assuming takes you to another page which had to be coded to submit the email as well as accept payments? So for me something just does not add up, if that person was smart enough to code 2 websites, why is he not smart enough to stop the Attack, block the IPs involved and reset the server and site.

So is this the end of Hashprofit or are they really under an attack and business will resume on the 5th of January as they described?

They probably have other problems and are buying time.

I filed a report to Russian FSB. Oh, hash profit are poor assholes. They will be caught by Chechen specnaz soon, delivered to Matrosskaya Tishina prizon, and fucked into ass with a bottle of champagne to death.

Happy New Year everybody :)

   

Think about this for a minute: How do you think they would have any idea as to when the attack will be over, or when they will be able to overcome such an attack?

The answer is that they don't and they are probably using the attack as a way to run away with all their customer's money

Seriously DDoS mitigation for a website these days is a) cheap and b) relatively simple.  Its a piss poor excuse and its getting old

I know a site that regularly takes 3Gbps. 

FFS there are plenty of companies who specialise in DDoS protection that require about 10mins work and often even provide a free tier.

Even the cheapest OVH/Kimsufi server comes with free anti-DDOS good for a few Tbps,

Cloudflare even provides a free tier and a high end service costs $200 a month. 

It doesn't sound good. That coinmaster2222 guy or whatever on the offical thread (which he closes) said it would be back up the 5th.. Which was 3 days ago.
According to their official Twitter page they did start mining again the 4th, which was 4 days ago.

I don't have much in there because I knew it was a bad idea but a buddy of mine said it was working out for them. Anyways I don't see anything in my wallet, so I can only assume it's still a no show.. Has anyone received a payment since they "Started mining again" ?

Profitcoin is tanking to new low, I guess they are not coming back. Although the profitcoin pool is still there , I don't know who is mining the coin.

i think DDOS is only a story
H.Protif start to pay more then invest
So they couldnt earn any more
and they want close system
and they said DDOS
This is my opinion only..
