CWI-POOLS - DDOSHi All ...
The miners who are trying to see what their stats are currently but cannot see anything at all off our pools, this is because of an attack via DDOS and it is coming from one area of the world at the moment.
CloudFlare is doing a good job of mitigating the attack, as the mining backend is still running fine, but the frontend is being smashed and this DDOS has been going on for a little while now.
Never fear with your mining, as the shares and mining itself is fine. We Pool operators are all attacked at some point or another, by disgusting individuals, and we have pinpointed this one who's IP is flagged and reported. Which means if the ISP who owns that IP does not mitigate the issue by banning the user, then the communications company will end up fining the ISP itself.
Below is an image of the general (we have the specifics that is reported) attack.

There really is NO EXCUSE for this type of behaviour. NONE! Which is why CWI will diligently amass ALL information and send to the relevant parties for action against these imbeciles of our society.
It won't be long that the CWI-Pool interface is back up and running, especially if their ISP blocks the user/users doing this. We are ALL working on mitigating these attacks, and will be running the frontend ASAP. NONE of the mining is affected by this, so your shares and mining efforts are safe.
When we find out who this is, if the laws allow us to publicly expose who they are, we will. We will name and shame ALL who do this within the privacy laws restricting us. If they allow us to expose ANY of these imbeciles, we will have NO issue doing so in every media channel we have access to.
