In February, someone launched a massive denial of service (DDoS) attack against SpywareInfo and several other antispyware web sites. These sites are all in operation again after taking rather expensive steps to defend themselves.
Sadly, the attackers have not given up the attack against antispyware sites. ComputerCops.biz (http://www.computercops.biz/) is being hammered by a similar attack, possibly by the same people who attacked SpywareInfo.
The cost of bandwidth used up by the attack is close to putting this site out of business (http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2004/05/10/ddos_attacks_hobble_ecommerce_security_sites.html). This would be a great loss to the antispyware community and they need serious help to prevent it from happening. If you can spare a few bucks and have a Paypal account or don't mind signing up for one (signing up is free), please contribute what you can to help this site stay alive.
The address is http://www.spywareinfoforum.com/rd/ccdonate (http://www.spywareinfoforum.com/rd/ccdonate). Thank you very much for helping out.
Everyone, please do help. We cannot let the attackers succeed in bringing spywareinfoforum.com down to its knees.
