AW.net down?

AW.net times out with a blank page for me. Is everyone else getting this too?

Hans

@Hans

Yes it seems down. It times out on me.

@Hans

Same here.

I thought it was my router, seems to muck about with AWorld sometimes... but seems its there end now.



Seems like AW.net is having quite a few problems lately.

Alex.

@samwel

Yes me too.
It gave me this this morning and then a few minutes later all went good, but now it seems really down

@Hans

It's down here also.

@all

Its been having problems for ages, my old maconamiga site and samba for idiots websites sites haven't worked for ages. Plus there's missing photos/pictures on the articles I wrote.


I hope they get thier problems sorted out soon

@Hans

Tried from two different places this morning and no luck here, either.

Too bad. . . there's more ermmmm. . . "news" there about the court filings.

Yes. It's gone down 3 times recently.

I just logged onto irc with fr.amigaworld.net and had no problem.

This should confirm what we discussed in irc.

The issue is http only. (this time)

Strangely, I just got the same timeout when I clicked an
AmiKit link in another forum here. Is the Amiga world
under attack or something??

@Outcast

Thanks to some hundreds hamsters running in their wheels we still have some electricity in France thank you

Hi abalaban,


How about mice?

Well a basic front page is up (15 .20) just news items, no comments so hopefully it on the mend

@Outcast

I am going to be so peed off if we all end up in a black hole tomorrow!

@TheDaddy

Maybe peeing into the black hole will cause it to collapse.

@all

It's back up completely now. I wonder what went wrong...

Hans

@Hans

Hey, don't forget about us

No need to worry about that. I'm still here.

@ Thread

I hope DaveyD will not mind me posting this:


FROM AMIGAWORLD.NET:

Hackers hacked into our server and used our server for filesharing 30GB of warez, they found an anon ftp account on aw.net and somehow got past our firewall rules that should have blocked their ftp access. Unfortunately these warez were undetected for some time.

This 30GB of warez was getting backed up by our backup script every time it did a full backup (remote and local), this caused massive backup files that used up all the harddrive space on the server causing the downtime.

Unfortunately because our server ran out of harddisk space it has caused some data loss in the website's database. We'll try our best to recover the missing data.

We have reported their IP addresses to BSA and their ISPs.

Please report any unusual anomalies on the website.

Thanks
