Jon the VGNerd 887 April 16, 2015 Share April 16, 2015 Hey ya'll, if you're on twitter, go to this jackhats profile and report him. When Twitter asks you what for, select the options that lead to reporting for targeted harassment of a third party. Let's see the Twitter banhammer get thrown at these clowns. They want a fight? Ohhhhhhhh, they'll get a fight! https://twitter.com/keksec_org Twitter's rather reluctant on laying users, even the obviously hacker ones, a perma-ban. Even if this one is obviously a DDoS attacker, I fear Twitter may have gone soft on laying the banhammer on different users. And even if they manage, they'll soon be persuaded to let them go. As for the fics being taken down... I'm not too worried about that. I saved them on Google Docs so I can still re-upload them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I'm not even worried about losing my fic's chapters, it's just a DDoS attack, all that means (as I understand it) is that the bandwidth is overloaded, it shouldn't effect the integrity of the site's records itself. 1 "You'll hunt me.

Indeed. And I'm too tired of even becoming worried (long day, of course). As for Twitter? They need to do better at suspending hacker-related Twitter users. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopQuark 409 April 16, 2015 Share April 16, 2015 I hope this child realizes that he has given the admins of FimFiction possibly hours of work to restore the site and set up a counter-measure against whatever five dollar piece of software he used. I actually just joined this forum because of this attack. I got online this morning in an attempt to update my story and found the site down. I only heard about the attack through a comment back at EQD on an unrelated post, which referred me to the news post at HN. My two cents at this point is in the face of an attack like this, we need to be careful not to return hate for hate. Like feeding fuel to the fire, each side is just going to elicit more problems for the other. If they want to call "war" out on something that has no real merit, let them. For the moment, this is an isolated incident that hopefully won't have any major repercussions. But I feel as if the MLP community doesn't need to take it sitting down either; hate movements like this need to be advertised and made clear across the community, internal and abroad. Thankfully, the world at large does not feed on the hatred of small groups like these. "Hate groups" are labeled as such for a reason; there's no place for hatred in the lives of the healthy. Their actions, as others, will not go unnoticed. I'm just hoping "we" (meaning anyone who openly identifies themselves as a fan, brony, etc.) doesn't give ourselves a bad name in the process by trying to retaliate. Welcome to the Forum! And yes, I agree. Hopefully, this clown will see that what he did (while annoying) is temporarily inconveniencing at most. I give it a week before FiM is back up, with an undamaged database. 1 Signature by Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavenholmZombie 1,330 April 16, 2015 Share April 16, 2015 FiMFiction is down? Well, fuck. Guess I'll actually have to do something productive with my time... In all honesty, this happens so often now that it's quite sad. Also, to the "hacker" behind this, Way to go taking down a small website run by only a few people which has done nothing wrong. Shouldn't you dickbags be focusing your energy on taking down sites like the Westboro Baptist Church or the NSA's website? 1 RavenholmZombie - Brony since 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RarityFan01 2,444 April 16, 2015 Share April 16, 2015 I don't have anything productive to do. I have no life. :'( I wish I wasn't creative. People who aren't creative actually have lives. They aren't writing stories, making art, or doing lame things that I do. They are doing real productive stuff. I shouldn't even bother with life anymore. I will never get rid of my creativity. 1 Rarity Fan Club My Ponysona My Drawing of Rarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Diamond 7,575 April 16, 2015 Share April 16, 2015 That's rather unfortunate. Clowns will be clowns, I guess. Thankfully, for my own part, I have my fic backed up several times over.

However, every now and then, we get a dunce who goes and decides to take down a website because they think that we're "degenerate sub-human rats." What makes this particular douche even more stupid is the fact that, after taking down the site, they went to Twitter and openly boasted about how they "Took down a Brony website!" I hope the FBI breaks down this kid's door and locks 'em up in Cuba. 1 RavenholmZombie - Brony since 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grepper 3,192 April 16, 2015 Share April 16, 2015 If you only want to read fanfics, you may be able to use the Wayback Machine's archived page. I'm trying not to get mad, and would suggest that others do the same. I'm guessing that making us mad is probably the intention, because the jerks DDOS'ers have retweeted several angry messages about the attack, and have posted messages mocking the people complaining. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
