i appologize and know this is the wrong forum to post this, but i feel like it'll reach the most viewers here and help calm a few people down

if you check emo's alexa rating you will clearly see the results of a DDoS attack. their hits just today is at 170,000,000 and it may increase by the time you read this! they avg only slightly over 3 million a month on a normal work period.

they are under a massive attack and i wish the best of luck to the admins that have to remedy this. i have no clue what they gotta do, but i'm sure there's a lot to do.

They don't have DDOS protected servers ?!


Hmm question: What crackers get if EMO is down ?!?! I realy don't understand this DDOS atackers

I think they just blast a site with a bunch of traffic all at once... not quite sure the details. I just don't understand why people do these DdoS attacks. Can't they just 'not' be annoying?

Yes,

To see this is a little conforting.. but I acct is still locked up.. so I hope all of this will be over soon.

I agree that this is extremely annoying. But I think I read somewhere that DDOS attacks could be blackmail or extortion attempts by crackers. And I also read in a post on MMG that both stormpay and Egold were subjected to severe DDOS attacks by hackers just before or during audits. So those could be possible reasons. Also read that crackers sometimes use DDOS attacks to act as a decoy while they take over a system. Not that any of this is what is happening with EMslO though.
Also for anyone who doesn't know, DDOS attacks do not allow access into the site itself, so your $$$ is safe.

just wanna make sure some others see this so they can stop worrying about whether the DDoS is real or not.

Good thinkin' Madsquabbles. At least it puts one theory to rest.

thanks for the info madsquabbles.

this makes me feel much better now. i was worring if they could scam us like stormpay.

yes, i hope so and hope they come back to normal

I hope they come back online soon.

First thing they need to do is block all traffic on all ports other than port 80.

I was in contact with one those suportes...and i asked him....they are working hard, and the site its off-line to protec our account..and the haare a lot of work to do..as well are worki to get the hacker hat it doing this massive " pcs, zombies atack"

Thanks for the reality check, everyone. I suspect this may have to do with them investigating Engagsurf and that admin possibly trying to block that audit. Anyway, I will wait it out. Almost joined Alertpay today but saw too much negative experiences with it.

Hopefully, they will block those ports and we will all be back on track soon.

It took eGold quite long to get ddos protection realising it is bad to their business.
I hope that these guys wont wait as long as eGold had and would
make sure that smooth operation is a must to run a good business.


Meantime i am on hold for several days and cant get money out or in.

This is an Blackmail atempt...they are working to get the hacker in prision

Thats nice but not at the cost of us being locked out without ability to
move our funds

i requested withdraw from EMO just one day before ddos attack, and EMO funded 1k to my powercash debit card during this downtime
still within one biz day

Yeah they are really professional...
when i was having problem with Credit Card...they perssonaly contacted me VIA TELEPHONE...to solve the issue, and im from BRAZIL. this is profissionalism....

I think whatever its happening, they will not desapoint us... they are serious and reliable corporation

i personally think emo sucks ass
but thats just me

emo is suck, block my acc due to i lose my secure card, unable to contact, ask me to call them but unable to connect with customer services aparment. they said call me back but didnt. stil block my acc..

Hmm isnt more that 5 days off-line because Ddos attack little too much for site like EMO ?
OK for hyip or autosurf, but for one big payment processor ...

Folks, Bad news about EMO !!!
EMO is out once and forever !!!

Now where is that 2.5 million we had laying around? Ooops!

I hadn't heard of anyone being ripped-off by EMO but someone obviously complained and WHAM...GAME OVER EMO.

I wonder if there was a sting operation involved with that missing money. That's a lot of money to go missing if it was from individual accts and those individuals would have been screaming all over the net. If it was just ONE acct though and that acct happened to be a Fed, hmmmmm.

They should have known to get properly licensed in their home state. Dumbasses! What is it with Texas payment processors and not getting licensed properly?

NUK

Not good! What processors are available besides EMO to transfer funds??

Alertpay and they are out of Canada

Make sure you resd this thread first on Alertpay before signing up:

Hyper-DD is now required since another payment processor is folding.

This is surely a bad year for online venture, just jope egold, MB and paypal can stay tune for the sake of us

Not only that - but Dayuuuum...... how much more money do they need when they are charging the withdrawl rates.

I would think that they would have had more then 5M in the bank though.
