What in God's name is going on today!?
Since around 7:00 hours this morning we've been victim of a DDOS attack. We don't know why, because who would wanna bring down a KaM community?
During the day we figured out we were attacked, because at first we thought our VPS just didn't have enough resources. Luckily this is not the case. At this moment, we are still under attack.
Around 16:00 hours, Lewin found a way to fight off the attack on KaM.net (thank you Lewin). That way KaMRemake.com, KaMTS.eu, the Teamspeak Server and the KaM Remake Master Server were back online again. As if all this wasn't enough, our hosting provider went down completely (even their phone) so everything went down again. When they fixed that problem after a long hour, the DDOS continued on KaM.net.
We have installed some countermeasures to fight off the attack while having KaM.net online. Currently, our homepage is in maintenance mode, but our forum is active again. We'll try to bring back the website tomorrow during the day.
We apologize for the major inconvenience, but actually it's the fault of that one person that thinks it's nice to DDOS a KaM Community.
We hope we've seen the last of these problems, but please be aware that some issues still may arise. Just know that we're always ready to bring everything back online, as long as it is safe to do.
