premium j12601 1153:32	Originally posted by presario Signed up to follow RB on twitter and saw all the notices about an attack and back ups at BA. Hopefully they come through as clean as RB. Hate to think anyone would lose stored ratings. We were talking about it in chat last night, as we were having trouble getting on forums over there. From the twitter account for BA it sounds like it wasn’t aimed at BA, but at their host, so that’s a good sign at least. Here’s to hoping their down time isn’t as rough as ours was a few months back. And... hopefully we can all be as gracious as they were when we were without a home for a while. I know a lot of us use both sites, and the beer community in general is pretty great.	7/2/2009 2:22:23 PM Post a reply Private message
FlssmrBrewAlum 1081:0	A DDoS is significantly different from what we experienced here though. Once the host resolves or blocks all the floods of traffic the "Hacker" is sending from his unit and all the compromised units he has taken under control, the attack should resolve itself. We were actually getting burned by malicious code insertion and the resulting scripts, I believe.	7/2/2009 2:25:33 PM Post a reply Private message
