Hey guys, the Tech Team are hard at work. The mysql server keeps crashing and we are currently working out if it's an internal issue or if we are being hit. News as it develops but don't forget I keep different hours to most of you lot.

Thanks for the heads-up: I've been wondering wtf was going on next-door for the last couple of weeks..

Wait and see...

[trailboss99 994]

Looks like it's most likely to some form of attack, we are trying to confirm that now but please remember our tech people all have real jobs to worry about as well as RWI. Rest assured they are doing the best they can.

Col, you like being hit?

Oke, looks like we are stable. The forum has been up for several hours and staying up so all is good again.

Looks like there are a handful of websites down right now due to some big DNS servers being attacked. dns*.name-services.com are experiencing DDOS attacks, so many DNS queries are going unanswered. RWI is one of the websites that probably has their DNS hosted by a registrar like namecheap.com or similar.

Nameserver

 

 

dns1.name-services.com.

 

Name server dns1.name-services.com (98.124.192.1) does not answer queries over TCP.

 

The name server failed to answer queries sent over TCP. This is probably due to the name server not correctly set up or due to misconfgured filtering in a firewall. It is a rather common misconception that DNS does not need TCP unless they provide zone transfers - perhaps the name server administrator is not aware that TCP usually is a requirement.
