Heavy Fire! Under a Coordinated Denial of Service Attack

The illiberal progressives are trying to knock us offline. We're fighting the good fight and will not succumb. I'm sniping the most annoying ones by hand, then two more show up to replace him. Going to experiment with an automated system to nuke 'em. SkyNet lives. Update: SkyNet is online

No quarter to these anti-civilization degenerates.

That these attacks taken to silence citizen’s right to discourse exist, is frankly, mind boggling.

As suggested by another poster, the thugs committing these treacherous acts should be identified and publicly outed and humiliated, at minimum.

Please report this to local LE.

Does this do any good?

Back when I had a land line, I got so tired of receiving calls from "Heather from Account Services" than I called the sheriff's office and the local FBI office and asked them what could be done. The sheriff said that they assume all these scam callers are out-of-country and therefore, they can't do anything. The FBI guy I spoke with said that what these scammers do (i.e., stealing personal information like social security and credit card numbers) is perfectly legal—up to the moment they actually steal money from you. Until that point, they can't do anything.

Sometimes filing a local police report doesn't do anything, but is necessary as a formality for escalating the matter. I.e., a federal complaint form might want the serial number of your report filed with local law enforcement.

God Bless You (and Jim and the rest of the crew). Keep up the good fight, and know that we are solidly behind you.

As a SysAdmin myself, I thoroughly appreciate what you're doing to hold these cretins at bay -- it's tough with an enemy you can't see.

Meanwhile, BTW, I'm not seeing any issues to speak of, from Upstate NY. Occasionally a slight rendering lag, but well within normal range. You must be doing a great job of knocking those suckers out!

GO GIT 'EM, JOHN!!

I’ve noticed for the past week or more that FR does not respond when I am running my Private Internet Access app. But it runs fine when my real IP address is not concealed. Is this part of what you’ve determined is necessary in order to thwart the hackers?

Okay then, when under attack,
I will shift into APPEASEMENT MODE for the time being.

Democrats are NOT dirty slime.
Democrats are just slime.

Two cents: My kid’s biz got hit with DOS attacks so he ended up banning entire ranges of IP addresses.

Maybe do the same then individually white-list anyone who complains they can’t get access?

Stealing that.

Skynet is doing a great job of spotting the illiberals. Still sniping by hand but they’re pushing me to flip the switch. They make us stronger. They always do when they resort to these tactics.
