Is anyone else getting Error 503? (DOS attack)

Why exactly is Anon taking aim at ATS? Did they discover which agency ATS is connected?

Here is the Thread on ATS discussing that particular bit about Anon and ATS

www.abovetopsecret.com...

I'm not kidding... the page 503'd

Not to make you paranoid but, its probably stepped up security by the PTB, software scanning all alternative sites looking for terror threats.

Or maybe aliens screwing with us since we were kicked out of the andromeda council or something to that effect.

Or maybe just the power outage affecting server hosts.

I know what my money is on.

It appears to be a bona-fide denial of service attack from compromised computers in the US.

Our support/security service has identified and blocked the IP range.

Acting fine now, back to it's snappy ol' self for the last couple minutes... seems to have done the trick.

rotten people....

Edit to add: Not able to connect to the chat IP, that getting slammed as well?
Disregard, it's good now.

Oooh we're under attack!!

Quick, group A go round the side, and group B head to the front, group C and D follow me and we'll take the left flank. Open fire when you hear a duck quacking!! Take no prisoners.

I got 502'd just trying to make it here...jeez

I'm in Tucson and have been getting the 503 signal for the past hour whenever I try to view ATS. This is the first time it's let me on. Power is fine here. Didn't even know about the outages until after midnight.

Your location won't matter.

It appears most (if not all) the compromised computers were on the Road Runner network. We've reported the activity to that ISP.

Same 503 here....I guess one of the posts in the recent days must have hit the soft spot

Don't know about that. But for whatever reason, this topic was used as the target. Several hundred requests for that topic every second.

It is not ATS. I have been trying to access my account at My Boeing Fleet. It too has been experiencing major network problems and Boeing have now taken the site down for maintenance.

I was getting 503s, but not on every request. I was getting them for about 30 min, but then my entire net went out for about 90 minutes. Almost exactly. After it came back, I'm still getting some 503s here and there. EDIT: Well not now, I think that's stopped too.

I couldn't get to any website whatsoever. Couldn't even get an IP address from them. DNS servers, tracert, ping. Nothing, nada, all out. And since I didn't have an IP, Google DNS didn't help either. Tech support said there was a service outage in my area. And now it's storming here. So, it may be entirely unrelated.

Could be two different things. However, it went out while I was requesting a page from ATS. Everything was working fine, except I was listening to the re-stream of Alex Jones' show today, and then went to click on an ATS thread.

Click and it usually comes right up, not this time. Just a long wait with nothing happening and when the browser did respond with a message it was an error message and the entire net was gone.

For me it started about the same time as the blackout in San Diego.

I just put it to one of the servers went down do to the blackout.

yeah ive gotten a couple of them too

Same here

ya! couple times, thought i hit the wrong button or sumpthin'

messed me up on a big post too.

I was having trouble on here, hotmail (as someone else also stated) and Demonoid. Every other site I went into over that timespan, Foxsoccer, Faceboook, Espn, Yahoo etc were fine. Very strange indeed.

Not in US, and not from a compromise computer, and still getting that error.
Only on ATS.
Just saying....

I just made a post about an Earth Quake in the Netherlands but it's gone missing - so far.

Demonoid has been down for a few days now. I think today will be the fourth, I get a message saying they are replacing a hw.

On topic, I was getting a ton of 503's, I couldn't get on for a bit.
