This is an FYI to all 190revolution.net members...

190Rev has been enduring a constant barage of malicious packets, a "Denial of Service" attack, beginning late last week and continuing even when the site is off line.

The attack appears to be coming from about 30 high bandwidth, compromised computers infected with DOS "zombie" trojans. The attack is sophisticated. As soon as IPs are blocked, the attacking computers proxy a new IP. When the attack starts, all of the bandwidth it sucked dry. Almost 50 gigs of transfer was logged in the first 2 hours.

Sadly, the attack is impossible to stop with out $5000+ to hire a specialized security team to design a packet filter an install it at the host's ISP.

Hopefully the attack will stop soon or I will find a host with experience combating these attacks.
