It's so nice to have an administrator who is on top of things...TOBB has been under spambot attack for two weeks and has amassed over 142,000 spam post...while Nero plays his violin
his I.T. staff tweets, twitters, and facebooks!

... down again for an hour today. Sluggish now. Clearly I need to switch web hosts. However, I have 3 websites and 7 email accounts on this server, so it'll take me a while to move it. |

Update: Been watching this since yesterday the crackerjack CI / I.T. team has been battling the bots since yesterday, they would block a bot only to have it reinvent itself and keep posting, they had 7 or 8 of them attacking at one time. They either overwhelmed the board or CI finally took the site down to try to stop the attack. Either way, it is offline at least for now.

She said that she let their IT dept know. She also said they don't know how to deal with all the spam on the CC site. his I.T. staff tweets, twitters, and facebooks! Sad that TOBB has become something akin to "Waterworld". |

The really amusing bit about the botpocalypse on TOBB is how little I do with this board to block bots (and we do block about 100/day). It took me a few hours to set up and absolutely nothing to maintain. |
