This is an email from botsmall today:
Two days ago someone decided to put our servers under a denial of service
(DOS) attack. They were not trying to get information but just flood our
servers until they shut them down. For them it was a success on our part.
Rather than chase this person for hours upon hours we decided to take the
high road and just shut the servers down ourselves. This is not the end of
BotsMall we are currently talking with a company that specializes in DOS
attacks, they have assured us if we use their service they attacks will
stop. Before this can happen we need to make changes to our server /
website configuration which we are in the process of making now.
We do not know when we will be back online running as normal but we have
taken the following steps to ensure all of our customers are taken care
of.
1. We set the payment site up at
- This is so you
can get your game cards, since the website does not have the SSL yet I
would not recommend making purchases. You can but it is not as secure as we
would like it to be.
2. We set up live chat at
if you should have
any questions.
3. We have helped
update their software to give
you the same instance access purchasing as BotsMall.com. BottersInc.com
does have their SSL installed for your security.
4. We know some of the Aion bot users had 8 to 12 hours downtime. We have
asked the owners of that software to give add on time to all current
accounts. There is no promises but we are trying. Normal policy is they
will only add time if the down time is over 48 hours (2 Days). I do not
agree with their policy but that is their policy.
I know a lot of these emails will be blocked but please spread the word to
your friends and family. Sorry for this it was unavoidable.
Sincerely,
James
