Ptcbox is down again. Again that DDos attack And this time the attack is much more bigger than the past attacks- as per ptcbox admin its size is 6 gbps. And It would need some days to come back online again :(
Well, I never saw this type of attack over neobux or clixsense. They are much older than ptcbox and the attackers could have much profit by attacking those sites rather than ptcbox. yeah, Buxp got an 6.3 GB DDos attack last year which stayed for six days and during this six days they got 3 attacks and the second big one was 5 gbps.
Whatever, I don't understand these types of things much and dont know how the attackers get profit by these attacks. But I am sure- many people will have a big loss if ptcbox went offline for some days or for many days.
I invested $20 myself for buying upgrades and there is many peoples who bought much more than me in sure, there is many add campaign still running. What about you? How you feeling about ptcbox? What is your experience with DDos attacks? what do you think, how many days would ptcbox need to recover this problem?

There need not be a profit in attacking. It may just be a jealous competitor doing it to bring the site down.
I don't know, but it may be true because their systems blocks cheaters. May be some of them got provoked and did it.
