Brett Tabke posted Early on Davidnaylor.co.uk that a massive proxy bot attack took down webmasterworld numerous times.
after a massive proxy bot attack from the UK and europe late last week. Several noticed we were offline numerous times last week for that reason.
I still think it’s pretty amazing that people still waste time and effort in attacking websites, I just don’t get it at all.

I wonder how much Danny would have to have paid, to get threadwatch closed down…

Hmm Marcus… How come I hardly ever see you comment here, and once we’re talking botnets, you appear?
