DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks.

July 20th, 2004

Dear Valued Customers,

Unfortunately, during the last weekend we were a subject to very strong DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks, which caused partial unavailability of some of our services and in some cases the complete unavailability of SupremeServer13 from Friday till Monday (July 16 – July 19) and later on the complete unavailability of the following servers on Monday (July 19, 2004) from 6:20 AM to 8:35 AM GMT:
SupremeServer 10
SupremeServer 11
SupremeServer 12
SupremeServer 13
SupremeServer 14

With a varying success, we tried to prevent these attacks. From Friday till Monday (July 16 – July 19), the attacks constantly changed and each time we managed to stop it, the attacker changed his attack pattern. With each change of the attack pattern, the traffic level increased and made it more difficult for us to react.

We would like to apologize to all our clients for the inconveniences caused by circumstances that were out of our control.

SupremeServer Team
