Title: Are we being hacked?
Post by: Kesa on January 21, 2011, 07:50:48 AM
Are we being hacked? Amiga.org just crashed on me which has never happened before like this. All my other internet is fine except for here. Also it happened on the same day that Amigaworld.net has vanished. I checked moobunny and nothings there. When A.org came back on a few minutes later there were only 20 or so users online so obviously it affected everyone.

Should i be worried? :confused:

Actually, Piru has helped to prevent the site from being hacked by such neer do wells by identifying a security hole.

For me, the site is actually loading faster and more reliably now than it has in weeks.

I often have to try multiple times before I'll get a file, Aminet seems to be distributed over a bunch of servers and not all servers have all the files, strangely enough.

Not, perhaps for servers problems, or connections, or Vudu.

Same.  I was finding it unbearably slow, but it's far, far better lately.

No, it's not just you. We can all download whatever we want from there.

As long he doesn't take offense, you could put up that scene in Pulp Fiction.
"Zed is the only one that does killing around here."
