RE: MESS.BE DOWN DUE TO DOS ATTACKS AND FLOODS
No One "HAcked" the servers. Its called a Distributed Denial of Service Attack. Basically, hundreds of computers try to access the site at the same time, in hopes to overload the server. Well. It worked. mess.be is back up, and neowin, msgplus etc...but a few are still down. msnfanatic is down and itselefants is down. All of them were nailed off the net by the same person. not too much info is known, but i do believe there are a few names and places that are being looked into.
