Error page: domain not found

[labestiol]

I don't get it....
If mtgox was being ddosed, it wouldn't work for anyone
If it was a dns problem, then this ip (if it's the good one), should work...
Can someone correct me if i'm wrong ?
WTF is happening ??

PS : from france, both are not responding... but i can ping mtgox.com

It could be being ddosed from a subset of ip's so only that subset plus their subnets are blocked.

It's those Russians who have done it dozens of times already. Every time, Europe was selectively disabled. It's been confirmed by Mtgox on various occasions, and they even contracted a hoster that specially handles DoS countermeasures because of this.

Also, I don't think I'm routed to Mtgox over Asia, or are they hosted in Japan now?

That's not a "conspiracy theory". This is most likely an attack just like all the attacks we had before -- just this time, someone is trying to profit on the market by doing it.

Weird. I can reach Mtgox just fine through Tor, but I can't reach them without my connection going through Tor.

Sorry I was thinking Bitcoinica, MtGox is hosted in Florida...

So from the thread it appears that Europe is having issues reaching mtgox.com, 72.52.5.67.

Any other geographic regions? What do European users get when they trace route to mtgox.com?

Here is mine:

HAH!!!! That's awesome...

It's a routine scheduled maintenance outage!!

Seriously? What the hell?

Why not shut trading down if you are doing maintenance if not everybody can trade? Who is going to come up for my losses generated by this?

Typical goxxing.

[proudhon]

HAH!!!! That's awesome...

So, looks like somebody was attempting to capitalize off of the outage.

[Vandroiy]

HAH!!!! That's awesome...

WTF? A planned outage that shuts out only the EU, but keeps other people trading?

Genius! That's... I don't know... what a plan.

[proudhon]

Ok, restart.  Roll back the last 24 hours.

[Lord F(r)og]

sorry, no fun at all

Almost as good as updating their system live.
