UPDATE:
All Moneypot services are up and running. In the past few days, we had some random short-lived DDoS burst attacks, and the servers are set to auto-reload in case it hits a certain threshold. Anyway, as always, funds are in no way affected by this, most of the funds are stored on a off-line remote multi-sig wallet, while our hot wallet is also hosted on a separate remote server.
INCIDENT REPORT:
The DDoS attacks that was made on Moneypot front-end servers was huge that it crashes our servers, there was also a time when our providers had to disable our server's network because the attack was so damaging. During those times, players were having a hard time to login to our website.
I have been in contact with CloudFlare in regards to this attacks, and some adjustments were made to mitigate this. IP addresses of suspected attacks where banned, and this included some legitimate users. I have made all effort to unblock all legitimate ips and have already fixed this since.
We have not received any Emails from the attacker, except one message from a newbie account here on BCT which is named 'icanhelpyou'. I did not and will not entertain any kind of extortion message or email.
Due to this incident, development of alt-coin integration and the version 2 of Moneypot was put to a halt to give more time scaling and upgrading our security. Rest assured the development of the said new features will resume as soon as possible.
There are alot of reasons why the attack was made on Moneypot, one of those reasons is that we have one of the largest investor-funded bankroll, and as day passes by, more and more people trusts us with their bitcoins which makes us a perfect target for such unethical attack.
