Please be advised that Sulit.com.ph experienced a down time from 3:30 PM (October 4) to 2:30 AM (October 5).

The website, although is now up, is still currently under a huge DDOS attack that we are currently trying to mitigate.  Please bear with us while we try to mitigate this issue.  Rest assured that our team is working hard to bring back the site to its normal status.  We are very sorry for any inconvenience that this issue has caused you.

For our SG Buyers, please be advised that majority of SG features are extended to compensate for this incident.

We will update this topic with any new development that we can share.

Thank you for your understanding.


Update: October 5, 2011 3:08PM

Please be advised that the website is still under a continuous massive DDOS attack but our system is holding.  We are in the process of adding more resources to the system to ensure that it can hold the attack and also continuously monitoring it.

Again, thanks for your patience and understanding.


Update: October 6, 2011 4:13PM

The attack has been completely mitigated.  Our team is still working hard to improve our infrastructure to minimize the negative effect if similar attacks will happen in the future.  We have already ordered new hardware that can help us better defend the website in the future.  The additional hardware and the new infrastructure will be available soon as our team work hard to implement the improvements.

Thank you for bearing with us during this incident.

"Distributed Denial of Service"

 

Basically, an individual sends countinuous "hits" to a specific port, flooding the path and effectively shutting down the server

The 100K+ extra connections are part of massive DDOS to the website.  The connections earlier was 450K+ so we have already blocked more than half of the attack

-Next week pa daw ang plano nila na gawin 'to.


Anonymous Threatens to 'Erase NYSE from the Internet'

"On Oct. 10, NYSE shall be erased from the Internet. On Oct. 10, expect a day that will never, ever be forgotten," intoned a computer-generated male voice common to many Anonymous videos, in a warning posted on TheAnonMessage YouTube channel (video below).

The AnonMessage channel has been used to post several Occupy Wall Street-related video messages since the protest against lax regulation of the financial sector and growing economic inequality began on Sept. 17. Those messages include Anonymous' initial "official" video regarding Occupy Wall Street and a warning sent last week to the New York Police Department that threatened retaliation if "the brutality does not stop" against Occupy Wall Street protestors.

Anonymous, until recently known mostly for wreaking havoc on the Internet through blunt-force takedowns of websites and opportunistic hacking attacks, has lent its help to low-tech street protests of late. Prior to its participation in Occupy Wall Street, the initiation of which is credited to the Canadian activist group Adbusters, Anonymous also had a large role in a string of live protests against actions taken by the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) authority's police force.

The threat to "erase" the NYSE from the Internet was not explained, though in comments on the YouTube video, some speculated that Anonymous was planning a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack on the public-facing NYSE.com website, similar to DDoS attacks the group has used to take down websites in the past.

Others felt that would only be a minor setback for the NYSE and guessed that Anonymous was planning a larger attack, perhaps even an attempt to actually disable trading on the exchange. 

 

Hindi lang ako sure kung paano pero panigurado may kinalaman si Noynoy dito. Cool
