BetPanAm under DOS attack.

Betpanam · Dec 16, 2003

The hackers are back again. BetPanam’s primary website is once again experiencing a DOS attack. A group of highly paid techs in the US are working hard to win the latest battle, but our customers may experience intermittent problems accessing our main website, www.betpanam.com.
There have been reports coming out of Europe the past week that some of the Russian Hackers had been apprehended. However, just like Sadaam Hussein’s evil band In Iraq, catching a few of them is not the end of the war.

We have set up some alternative locations for our internet customers to use. If you have problems accessing out main site, entering a wager, our checking the lines, please call our Customer Service Number at 800-810-3575 to get information on these backup locations.

You can also call our main wagering number at 800-469-9970 to make your plays via the phone.

F#cking hackers

Marty,

PLEASE don't give them a phucking penny. You'll have more respect and loyalty from us if you don't. I for one will throw a couple of dollars into my account in a day or two just because of this.

I can't help but feel that if no BM had ever paid their ransom demands, these Pavlovian Russian dogs would be history. On a purely behavioristic level, the bastards need reinforcement to continue. They are phucking dogs and like dogs they eat shit.

These guys must be caught. With today's technology we have to be able to get these guys. At least have someone trace the money trail. C'mon.

Why pick on poor Pavlov's dog? What does make Pavlov's dog drool? That has always been a good question.

In the meatime, Mr. Jones you are right someone, somehow has to run these creeps down.

Scotty,
Can't get through on the 800 #'s either! Was able to wager though!

What is up with an attack on Tuesday? Scary thought, if they are willing to put up the resources and risk getting caught in the middle of the week when they aren't exactly going to kill a book's business. I don't think a bowl game between N Texas and Memphis is a betting bonanza either...

wilheim · Dec 16, 2003

Wild Bill - I was thinking the same thing. The earlier (yesterday) attack on Statfox, an information site, does'nt make all that much sense either. I hope this is not a new group, seeing if they can pull off an attack, by running a kind of trial run. Just speculation on my part.
