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.

SPAM and DOS attack at Bachmann Forum

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.
