Carib tells SBR: Since 9am EST today our website came under a DOS Attack. Our Technical Team is diligently working on restoring full access to our site. We anticipate your understanding and sincerely apologize for any inconveniences being caused by this attack on our services.
A denial of Service attack is caused by excessive requests to a website's server which in turn leaves little or no resources for legitimate user traffic. The sportsbook's information and databases are not "hacked" or compromised. In the event of website downtime bettors can find a list of all LiveChat links here as well as all sportsbook phone numbers here. This is the second time is the last six months that Carib Sports has been down due to a DoS attack.

Update 8.18.09: Carib tells SBR: "We are pleased to report that Carib has recovered from the DOS attack experienced yesterday. Full access to the website has been restored. We appreciate the understanding and patience our members have extended to us while our services were interrupted."
