If you were on the site at all today you might of noticed that the site was either not working or it was very slow. This was the result of the DoS.” The attack targeted a post about developer Stephen Jemal and a legal dispute with an investor. “The post has a PDF document of complaint regarding the Stephen Jemal court case. A specific IP has been making up to 50 requests a second for the PDF that I am hosting of the court complaint regarding the case. The attack brought down my server, which hosts over 120 domains, for a few hours. It was brought back up by denying access to that IP.”–GerritsenBeach.Net
