Thread Name: BS: Mudcat problem (FunWebProducts)
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat problem
jon - I don't have any documented sites haven't bothered to look and frankly - can't be bothered to look.- but local (Rochester, NY) roadrunner webmail was taken down by FunWeb a couple months ago; and according to friends who work for them they had several other regional hubs that have had the same problem. They didn't admit it then and they don't admit it now - but we were fighting the same problem at the time and tracked several waves of attacks to their servers.
We had a school district go down with fun-web last August - and sproradic attacks of it since - mainly blocked and we've kept it from production servers since last August- but it's not hard to see how it could take out sites. - especially when you don't have 24/7 coverage and multiple redundancy.
Not to mention the gazillion other products out there that hammer at firewalls filters and blocks.
