DDoS Attacks on DEDICATEDPOOL.COM - OFFICIAL POST ATTACK REPORT

[binaryclock]

Gentlemen:


Today DEDICATEDPOOL.COM was hit with many DDoS attacks.  All of them were redirected except for the last one.  

Two minutes after the DDoS was executed, we started to respond putting emergency policies in place and getting things back up as soon as possible.  We were down for about one hour while we reconfigured the network, and put more protections in place to stop such an attack from happening again in the future.

We now have also added to our DDoS protection, Cloudflare, which stops flood attacks and the likes even before they hit the switches.

I urge you to reconnect back to dedicated pool and continue mining with us.  I appologize for the downtime, but we are back after only one hour and we are stronger than before.  You can't keep us down!

Overall I very happy with the response to the DDoS.  The plans were put in to place immediately and they were executed in textbook fashion to defeat the attack and bring services back up as soon as possible.

Thanks!

Sorry but I do not think very highly of anyone or group that would do attacks like this. Still do not get what is gained by such attacks. IMO, it just puts a bad picture on the crypto community as a whole. What major retailers would be willing to step into the crypto world when crap like this goes on?
