Ewanetwork and trackers down



All LinkTrust networks were down for about 30 minutes earlier today due to a DDOS attack originating from Russia. There isn't much I could do about it besides offer lead credits to the affiliates effected by it (simply contact ryan@eaglewebassets.com) if you have any issues and I will issue lead credits for the downtime. That's my responsibility as a network.

And no, we didn't get raided. Yet atleast LOL.

We have isolated the cause of the recent LinkTrust service interruption. LinkTrust came under a DDoS attack this afternoon at approximately 2:30 p.m. MST. While the scope of this attack was extensive, we were able transition to our mitigation system to restore service by approximately 3:10 p.m. MST.

Preliminary analysis of the attack indicates it is coming from Eastern Europe, and may be based in Russia.

With the help of our mitigation partner, Prolexic, we are continuing to monitor the attack and adapt our defenses appropriately. Prolexic has confirmed that the attack is fully mitigated.

We have not experienced further service interruptions since Prolexic mitigation was implemented.

We will continue to keep you up to date as our mitigation efforts continue. There will be a technical report posted to the LInkTrust Support Desk tomorrow. You will receive an email with a link to the report as soon as it is posted.

I will share a funny story. Back when we were on DirectTrack one of the sales reps (name removed) decided to call me when DirectTrack was down for several hours that day due to a DDOS Attack and asked if I would like to switch over to LinkTrust. He was basically kicking me while I was down and laughing at us. Not a cool move.

Highly plausible. I heard from my cousin's broker's nephew's next-door-neighbor's house sitter's son that DT has an entire fleet of ex-Chinese Army intel hackers in a warehouse in Cleveland. He said they open a slot in the door every Monday at 8 am and pour in 14 lbs or dried rice, if by Friday at noon they haven't successfully brought down LinkTrust they don't get any fortune cookies.
