DDOS attack, huh? I sometimes wonder if people are doing this only for the laughs or if it's being done by truly malevolent people who are trying to pursue personal gains by this. Any ideas how you could profit from an attack?
If you were to launch a DDoS attack against a website then you could also launch a different attack on the same website. The website operator's attention and resources would likely be focused on the DDoS (it is much more public and obvious) so less would likely be done to counter whatever other attack you are attempting.

Back in the early days when 80% of bitcoin trade happened over at gox, people would DDoS mtgox and the lag would increase to some insane amount making trading nearly impossible. It would temporarily crash the price, this exact method was used to crash the price on a number of occassions. The attackers probably had a short on bitcoin so profited that way. It's probably somebody trying the same thing again, doubtful they'll have much success nowadays though.
It is nomal for me.
it's opening normally and with good speed to me, haven't tried logging in but everything looks normal on homepage at the moment, DDOS attack ended?

That people will trade on other exchanges meanwhile? So profit maybe? But it would need to be offline for way longer time.
Seems to be up and down right now....but I finally accessed my account at least and everything was in tact. That's really all I need to know

I'm currently getting an "Error 502 Bad Gateway" on BTC-e.com.
Hopefully any customer coins they have are stored securely somehow.

I was using btc-e.com about 20 minutes ago just fine and now I can't connect at all.
First I could not access the URL http://btc-e.com
Now, I can access, but if I try to login "server error"
UPDATE: Following "server error" it gives me "PoW Data Not Received"
Can't tell if this is getting better or worse.
It works fine for me? Not even delay when loading.First I could not access the URL http://btc-e.com

Have you tried to login though? They've confirmed ddos just a minute ago.
Took some time loading, but loaded without problem.
Even google went down one time or two, nothing to worry.

i opened same topic but know i cnt find it. why
Probably because it was moved to the correct sub-forum, as this thread should be.
My bad on posting to incorrect forum
Thank you for confirming site is down for others too...at least partially
As mentioned, I was finally able to load the site itself, but cannot login (server error)
Hopefully this will be resolved very soon.
