But idk what the problem so far, if i click on a new topic it crashes and it not let me go on it i have to refresh it like 8-9 times... But it appeared only now.
Dan Posted February 2, 2019 #2 Posted February 2, 2019 The forum has been under constant DDoS, I've done a few changes to try and stabilise the service form the attacker.
KiXxnTRiXx Posted February 2, 2019 #3 Posted February 2, 2019 Ya.. Some troll(s) keeps attacking the forum for whatever reason.. So annoying.. Like, why the forum? what the heck is the end game here.. unless theyre really that bored and got nothing else better to do than troll stake forum.. like holy geebus, get a new hobby!
polor12 Posted February 2, 2019 #4 Posted February 2, 2019 Hows the forum being attack... is by active players or recently new ones.?
CaptainLorca Posted February 2, 2019 #5 Posted February 2, 2019 It’s hard to say who actually starts DDoS attacks.. sadly
Kate Posted February 2, 2019 #6 Posted February 2, 2019 It is mainly because some people are there that got banned from the forum and wants to see it die that's why. If anyone doesn't know what DDOs is it's basically sending too many requests to a server so that they can't respond to the real users but to some random user who has nothing to do on the site
Okseo122 Posted February 2, 2019 Author #7 Posted February 2, 2019 ohhh.... Tysm for these fast replys anyways i hope you guys won't get another ddos!
Dan Posted February 3, 2019 #8 Posted February 3, 2019 We suspect the attacks are from someone trying to find exploits in the forum software to gain access to the database where they would then be able to try and steal peoples usernames and passwords. Attacks like this often happen to forums, and it’s been ongoing usually for years now. I have to constantly add new protection to our WAF firewall that protects us from such attacks.
kuba122388 Posted February 3, 2019 #9 Posted February 3, 2019 Hope you Will destroy that attacks. I think its very annoying, but you are too intelligent. I wish Ya good luck! #StopDDoSStake

Some people just can't find a useful way to contribute to their society. Such a shame. Thanks for the ongoing vigilance.
