Alaska Software | DNS and WWW under attack on Fri, 06 May 2011 20:29:29 +0200 Dear Xbase++ developers, Due to a failure at our hosting provider our secondary DNS server was not able to take over while a distributed brute force attack against our primary DNS and WWW servers knocked down almost all of our public systems. This total DNS blackout for alaska-software.com/alaska-software.net and alaskasoftware.com led to the situation that we have been mostly unreachable in the last 48 hours. Until now, we have been able to setup new primary and secondary DNS systems, which have taken over name resolution. That is why you can read this message and that is why we are now able to receive email again. Of course our WWW system, the web applications and the download system are still offline and currently being moved to a new server. We are very sorry for this inconvenience. Best regards, Your Alaska Software-Team |
