Wesclarkdemocrats.com knocked off line
Just a quick note to tell anyone who has been trying to reach www.wesclarkdemocrats.com since about 11:30 CST last night, the site has been knocked offline by an apparent denial of service attack. We hope to have the problem resolved in the next few hours. Thanks.

1. I was just about to write to you!
I finally decided that I should make my first contribution to Kerry, and lo and behold, no WesClarkDem site! Waaaaahhhhhhh :cry:

I'll check back later today. Good luck with that. (and I DID get my Feingold contribution recorded there before the site went down last night)

thanks for all your great work! :hi:

4. Congratulations! Apparently the forces of evil have taken notice
of your efforts. As annoying as it can be, it is nice to know they care.

5. WE ARE BACK!
Routers and firewall have been reconfigured and this problem shouldn't happen again. Sheesh, what is the point of these stupid attacks anyway?

6. Could be virus related
wasn't there a recent virus that hammered routers?

7. That's a possiblity, Jim
It looks like the attack came from programs banging away at the IP address from about a dozen different systems. I can understand, I suppose, these virus/trojan packages used for illegal spamming or identity theft -- at least they have a reason, though larcenous, the pure mischief makers though need a sound whupping.
