Matchbook needs to be downgraded

[BAUS]

The "2" site was working for me, but not anymore.

I'm upset that I can't use MB again for another day in a row, but more so at the losers who start these attacks than actually MB.

Just talk to them and was told that there was DDoS attack that they are trying to sort out...well my question was why do other books do not experience similar attacks, and did not get the answer...but I think these guys just need to spend some money on improvement of the software and some hire some people who can protect the site on a daily basis...seems like atack was initiated in Russia like most of them are...and it sure thing that another competitor paid for that, there was a hole in the system to make hacker atack possible...I think that they'll re-group and will be able to maintain the up-time close to 100%

ah what?

every book experiences these attacks. pinnacle was down daily for half a year. betphopenix was just down for a week. bodog was down all afternoon on sunday. cris missed an entire weekend last fall.

the books have invested millions in technology, but every once in a while the hackers jump ahead

I guess people forget when sites like Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, Ebay are down from hackers. It happens to everyone and there really isn't too much you can do about it.
