Surely someone can track it down and take legal action can't they?

Wont get into the details, but basically they cant pin point the exact place etc, but you can be assured this is doing alot of damage to vBulletin and im sure the guys will do all they can to get it stopped.

I say they should setup some sorta of bounty system, so we could have bounty hunters all over those script kiddies behinds...

Imagine what all the coders here at vb.org could come up with if they teamed with vb.com staff!! World domination, that should show them
But anyway, no violent talk is allowed here aparantly |

My concern is that this is getting a frequent "business" nowadays. There are some people around who browses internet, find a company that does business over internet and if they think this company has a good income, they threaten to attack their site unless they are paid. And they really attack too. I see this in many sites and I'm sure there are other sites who paid so we dont see the attack on them, so the attacts should be just the tip of the iceberg. This is just scary.. |

I personally cant see them allowing any mirror sites or anything, as its a buisness and all.
Hope things work themselves out in the end though Its probably Bin Laden doing it or somet like that **shruggs** |

I understand having to ban IP address because of this, and I know that users that have dynamic IP addresses can really have a problem, but how many times should we have to submit the exact same IP address to VB? Is it not possible for them to keep a record of customers and their IP addresses and not ban these address? I've had the same IP for nearly a year and every time the DOS attacks start up again I have to email VB to ask them to unblock my IP.

The easiest way to solve these issues is to get everyone you know to patch their Windows computers, install a firewall and virus checker and not participate in the attacks themselves. |

Im confused - I havent been able to get to VBulletin.com for a while now. Every couple days I get lucky and it seems to come up..
Is it being attacked and I jast cant get through ? Or have they banned all of comcast ip's ? I guess the question is - As a paying customer is there something I need to do to be able to see the site ?? Thanks Doug |
