That's one hell of an accusation to make without evidence, and making it without proving it can only damage BTC-e's reputation.
Explain yourself BTC-e support.
Seriously, that could be grounds for a lawsuit under slander/libel.Explain yourself BTC-e support.
Yes it could. That is an extremely serious allegation.
Edit: But we don't have the entire conversation. Support could have said: "All these rumors about the DDOS need to stop." And the question could have been asked: "What is the rumor that is going around?" And support could have replied: "mtgox ordered it."
One screenshot can be taken completely out of context.
heh - thanks for this nice story from Gibson.. I love that guy scince 1999
This link was such a pleasure to read.. Thanks You MPOE-PR ! Folks, a semi-competent script kiddie can drop a billion IP packets on the internet directed to btc-e (for example) with any "from" address you want (like mt-gox). All the responses will go to the "from" address... so its pretty useless for everything except DDOS attacks. Smart routers might drop the packets, but I guess not in this case.
This is the most likely explanation...

The thing is that anyone competent would know that. The fact that BTC-e support is accusing MtGox of organising a DDOS against them rather than assuming that it's just a script kiddie using the MtGox address for shit and giggles makes me question the technical knowledge and competence of BTC-e staff.

Yeah, ofc, still, I guess btc-e wouldn't launch such a rumor without some solid intel. This is the most likely explanation...

Thanks, I found it very interesting.

MtGox have like the biggest customer base and I see no reason for them to do that.
Wouldn't btc-e have to prove it with images showing ip address of an attacker?

Hard to believe that industry leader will order ddos attack agains competitor with turnouts 20 time smaller. BTC-e has reason to order ddos-atack against MtGox, hoping that some customers will use then as alternative, but not vice versa. So I suppose support was really on drugs) or mistyped somehow))
it would be funny if someone actually got drunk "sorry for the false accusation, one of the employees had a little bit to much".

Tell them that you can configure the max connections per ip variable on nginx and its one line of config.
God I love this place.

"Oh, those Russians!"
Tinfoilhat area imo.
But either way, it's disappointing that this community still hasn't outgrown these kind of things, if it is an actual attack or a false accusation either way.

Thanks for posting the pics. It's their support saying it, so.....
YW, luckily I had one tab open on BTC-e.
BTC-e support has to be joking right? Would Mtgox really order a ddos against them?
Unless someone has control over the BTC-e server...
