Namedrive DDOS Attack Update II - Page 2 - IDN Forums

I notice that my Sedo parked names ppc is somewhat less the last couple of days, about 15%- surely it can't be that they are reducing payouts whilst one of their main competitors are down.

Should actually work the other way. Google would be short of clicks so they are more likely to let you have access to top adverts.

It is possible I believe to experience an end of month effect, where advertisers budgets are completed for some high paying keywords, so these are replaced by lower paying Ads.

It is also not really true that there is no competition. ND is the be and end all of everything, and is still serving Ads even if you cannot access the interface.

Final (hopefully) update…

August 25th, 2007

Hi guys,

Just to give you an update on this. I am very sorry that the HP is not up yet. Our lead tech guy was up for 36 hours solid battling this thing. The two times he tried getting our HP back up again, the bugs were swarming all over the servers and he brought them down again. After 36 hours, he decided to go to bed so he can get things going with a clear head today.

I appreciate it is a massive inconvenience that you can’t log into your account, but that will hopefully be resolved asap today.

If your parking pages aren’t resolving, please contact me at ed@namedrive.com and I’ll try and work out what’s going on. Tech say that if you use URL forwarding, then restarting your computer and then viewing the pages may make a difference.

Just to reiterate, whether your pages are live now or not, we will make sure that you do not lose anything as a result of this attack.

Mister B

Jackson -

A quick note to see if our company can assist you in any way possible regarding the DDoS attack that namedrive.com has been receiving.

Firstly, let me tell you about Stop DDoS / DDoS Solutions (http://www.stopddos.org). We are based in the US and UK, and specialise in botnet attacks, tracing, mitigating and identifying the criminals behind them. We have years of experience in helping Law Enforcement (LE) and direct links within the government to speed up cases. Our unique skills and ability to trace botnets stem from over 10 years experience in the IT security sector that all of our employees have orginated from.

If you feel our services would be of use to you then please drop me an email. Just remember that DDoS attacks are often personal attacks done by someone you know (ex clients or competition are two examples), and it is somewhat useful to know who your enemies are in the ever growing world of ecommerce.

All the best,

I just logon to see my account. The apologies on the homepage is nice, but more important, is whether the account will be adjusted for the slowdown on the 23th and 24th.

I am not the owner of namedrive, I'm just a user.

Highly coincidental that you found this post on your first visit to this forum, though...

These guys search for ddos chatter, that is how they got here. I hope they are not like the "virus cleaner" companys who give out trojans with one hand then offer repairs with the other

The thought has crossed my mind on occasion.

I thought such spyware and search hijackers are a thing of the past? I remebered one in one of my customer PC that opens and closes the CDROM drive every few hours, and displays a "Your PC is infected, click here for a solution!".

Hi Guys,

We do look for DDoS attacks and you will see if you google "DDoS NameDrive" just how many sites have carried the story so obviously easy for us to see

The concern stated by

is illogical if you take time to look at our site because we are not eliminating a virus; we offer the service of finding a botnets control location if it is a generic botnet and also we offer a service that includes finding the real identity of the attacker. The company you mentioned was cleaning the virus they made and not identifying who made the virus so the comparison is absurd.

The post was for ed@namedrive.com or anyone with namedrive.com to read and meant as an offer to help not spam.

But of course feel free to give us a call and we will explain our company further using the number on the website.

All the best.

Anderson.
