btsabc.org just recovered from cyber attack and typhoon "Meranti " Megi"

in bitshares •  8 years ago  (edited)

We are sorry that btsabc was down in the past week.

The main reason is that the server of our website suffered from a cyber attack from some religious extremists.

Meanwhile, the recent typhoon "Meranti" and "Megi" landed in Taiwan and Fujian of China also affected the recovery time.

Fortunately, we have recovered all the data so far, and btsabc is now back online.

To note that only the website was affected, the following business of btsabc were not affected:

witness of btsabc:abc123
web wallet: bit.btsabc.org
API gateway: wss://bit.btsabc.org/ws
lottery program: IOU.BOO
richlist : richlist.btsabc.org/
traffic insurance program: IOU.WTX
BTS ID trading system: id.btsabc.org/

Thanks for your support!

Care to elaborate on the religious extremists? Why did they target the site?

I believe they are doing that randomly, because a lot of websites met the same problem. They just wanted to advertise their political ideas, but sadly we don't understand their language neither has any interest to investigate...
