SPAM and DOS attack at Bachmann Forum
Posted by Curmudgeon on Monday, April 10, 2006 2:24 PM
The front office just got the plug pulled on the Bachmann Forum until they can get the new security protocols in place.

It has been a weekend of what amounts to Denial of Service attacks, obviously directed, and some SPAMmer is not happy.

The front office knows has a suspicion as to why this has occurred, as do I, and now the work begins.

Be nice if they could backfeed into a spammer or hackers system and nuke thier system in kind. Surprised no whiz-kids figured out how to do that yet.
