Sagar wrote: Thanks Helen, that downtime helped me, I placed an Adorama order through ebay and got some good MS cash back saving few bucks from other wise listed price on your own site Many Adorama customers have been in contact with us due to the periodic unavailability of our website over the past few days. We have ascertained that the Adorama website is currently under DDoS attack (distributed denial-of-service) As if the New York drizzle wasn't enough to put up with, we have been made aware that there has been an explicit, deliberate attempt to disrupt our business - and the lives of our customers - by very experienced, aggressive attackers who have been able to overpower our servers and make the Adorama website unavailable, although we are unsure at this point whether the motives of these cyber vandals are extortion or revenge. [It has been suggested by one of my colleagues that it is a cunning plan to get me off the forums.....how mean is that?] Seriously, we want to stress that there has been no penetration into our system security, and that no data has been compromised. Our IT team has been working ceaselessly to defend against this attack; we hope the worst is over ....... and I'm still here! So, if you were planning to order from Adorama and were about to change your mind due to the problems we've been experiencing, we would be extremely grateful if you can bear with us just a little bit longer. If you are able to wait until we are back on our feet, and are interested in finding out more about how systems can be overwhelmed in this way, you may want to take a look at what linuxsecurity.com & gizmodo.com say about DDoS attacks. There is also a heap of info available on You Tube. In the meantime, our friendly sales team can still take your 'phone orders on 212 741 0052 - 'though you may be waiting a little longer than usual for us to answer your calls.

oster Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #18 · Adorama site down? http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/general-talk/78018-cant-ping-adorama.html#post791702 Some info here that might help; it does seem that Australia, parts of South America and Israel are still having problems. We really appreciate all the feedback, (which might help those investigating to nail the criminals behind this).

oster Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #21 · Adorama site down? Firstly, we want to express our thanks to those of you who are continuing to bear with us and the problems with our website - you could so easily have gone elsewhere, but you stuck with us. The attackers are continuing to attempt to bring our website down. To prevent this, over the past 7 days we have been installing a sophisticated system to filter out the bad requests. On Friday alone, this system prevented about 500 million requests from reaching our servers. Understandably along with all these bad requests some of our real customers are also getting blocked. If you are stll being affected, you can help us to help you by providing the following information and sending it to me - we would be extremely grateful: Your Name: Your Email address: Order Number you have placed in the past (if applicable): IP Address: To find out your IP address, please visit: http://whatismyip.com BTW if you are aware of any other Adorama customers who are also having problems in accessing our site, please ask them to forward the above information to me, as well. Thank you again for your patience and understanding. Helen Oster Adorama Camera Customer Service Ambassador helen.oster@adoramacamera.com Nov 01, 2009 at 07:33 AM
