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?
