Clixsense preživeo ddos napad!
Danas posle bezuspešnog pokusaja da se logujem na Clixsense imao sam utisak da su u pitanju neki radovi na sajtu.
Dobijao sam i par maila sa pitanjima zašto ne radi sajt i postle par sati kada sam uspeo da se ulogujem dobijem zvanično obaveštenje:

Members, Tuesday night August 13th about 10PM Eastern Time ClixSense was hit with a very large ddos attack. So large infact that our current ddos protection could not keep up. Right now the attack seems to have been filtered and we're back online. We do not know if this will happen again, but please note we will not stop working on this until it's completely stopped.
ClixSense will work with local and federal authorities to help try and catch the individuals responsible. We have already been in contact with the FBI Cyber Crimes division and we are making changes that will protect us in the future for very large ddos attacks.
There may be some errors or features of ClixSense that are not working for example the toolbar. We will get these back online as soon as possible.
We apologize for the downtime and will do everything we can to keep the site up.
Thank you"
Jasno je da je u pitanju hakerski ddos napad velike razmere ali ono što je najbitnije da se sajt uspešno oporavio i da nema štete od napada.
Clixsense je još jednom pokazao koliko je ozbiljan sajt. On inače ima ddos zaštitu ali je ovaj napad bio mnogo obimniji zato je i došlo do zastoja.
O tome šta je ddos napad više u narednom članku.
