2checkout - DDoS?

Posted by InfluxHost, 11-28-2003, 01:27 AM
Hi everyone, If anyone else has probably noticed, 2checkout.com seems to be totally un-reachable. Maybe another DDoS? Pitty on the attackers, to do such a thing during thanksgiving vacation. The main problem here seems to be that 2checkout posted they wouldn't be back in offices until Monday, meaning this downtime could last quite a while -Greg

As I mentioned in the thread in the business forum, I was sure there were tech people responding, and there are. Here's is what is posted on the seller login page: November 28, 2003: Update - Current DDoS Attack The current attacked has been blocked prior to filling our Data Pipe. However, the attackers have now taken a number of ISPs offline, including our provider. All support is working on rectifying this situation. November 28, 2003: Processing under Attack Since early this am, Sales have been slowed by a new style Service Attack. This attack is being experienced by a number of payment companies. The attack is under control except for a data communications problem thru the upstream provider. All tech support staff at the ISP and 2CO are addressing this issue. I am able to access both the seller pages and sales pages as of 2:25 PM CT with normal speed. Let's hope it stays up.

Would you mind posting a link to the sellers page? I normally just access it via the main page so I don't have it bookmarked. Frank

I wonder if it's the same face behind all these DDOS attacks ...

I am still unable to access 2checkout.com from Boston, MA. ISP is RCN. I'm guessing it's because of the other DDoS problems they are having? -Greg

I still cannot access 2checkout.com. I am located in Alden, NY (near Buffalo). My ISP is Roadrunner (Timewarner) and Earthlink for backup.
