Looks like there's another problem with one of the hosting providers down here this morning ... affecting the CRIS sites, SBR and others.

2betdsi.com worked about one hour but now, the site is down.

"The cases of BetCris, a Costa Rican-based gambling site, Multibet.com, and Australian company and Grafix Softech an internet service provider were illustrative. An extortion network demanded $40,000.00 from BetCris in the fall of 2003.Their e-mail said, “if you choose not to pay for our help, then you will probably will not be in business much longer, as you will be under attack each weekend for the next 20 weeks, or until you close your doors.” The general manager of BetCris was confident that his company’s data system was protected to withstand any attacks. When the attacks came however, it took less than 20 minutes to take down both the gambling site, along with its service provider."
