Its a typical Russian hackers attack... They do it extort money from the sportsbooks. Its happened frequently different books over the years.... used to happen fairly often on Sundays during NFL season.

If the US wanted to take down the domain, it would be down in a second with a screen saying the FBI seized it.. MORON.

Not true. It took 24 hours for the US to seize all the poker sites.

[EaglesPhan36]

I don't know why anyone finds it "weird" --- PlayStation Network hacks, etc. There are a lot of nerds out there who really need something constructive in their lives.

[Extra Innings]

Time will tell ....

[Dawgfan1980]

Not true. It took 24 hours for the US to seize all the poker sites.

This has been going on since the fight on Saturday night.

[BrianLaverty]

5Dimes said the same thing. Kind of funny that PS/FT get shut down and now all of a sudden two of the biggest sportsbooks are getting DOS attacks and their sites are going down.

You notice PS/FTP didnt have ANY problems before it happened... and it just happened suddenly?

And yeah.. the FBI is going after a book that doesn't take Americans.

You're an idiot...

[KKoz9]

I guess Tony beat down the US DOJ into submission, because 5dimes is up again.

The Eastern Europeans black-mailing the offshore books are different than the nerds hacking PlayStation Network.

You don't even know how to spell "lying"... I really don't think you should be on here spreading rumors.

Everybody in the world knows 5Dimes has American players. I play there and I am American. So does my buddy. I am sure you have friends who play there too.

I was talking about Pinnacle, you mo-mo.

[BrigadierPudding]

What do you mean the US govt is "trying" to get the site seized? That's a ridiculous assertion. If they had a case, they would seize the domain and issue an indictment against 5Dimes.

Ridiculous thread.

[minet123]

You have not offered 1 shred of evidence other than some agent told you this
some agent told me Pinnacle would be back as an exchange backed by Goldman Sachs
Don't believe everything you hear

[daimoshokage]

it's back up now..

Stop lieng.

ok ... so you don't belive someone who can't speak english 100% corect ... very smart ..

[JayRow]

So what do you suggest? We take our money out immediately? I have a lot of my liquid wealth in 5 dimes.

[Legions36]

I know for a fact 5Dimes is lieng about why their site went down today. Their site was not hacked. The US Government is trying to seize their site and get them shut down. Why do you guys think all of these sportsbook are all of a sudden not accepting US customers anymore?

Just for the record its not just today they have been having problems everyday for a while now, and if they aid its because of hack then thats probably what it was read up on other 5dimes threads lately u will see. Just use there backup site when this happens.

[Legions36]

No leave it right there and keep going as usual.

Amen to that.I've kind of learned to live without some options and found that alliviates alot of headaches too.

[Dark Horse]

Just to put some of you at ease (others will say the info is useless, and I don't care.)

Please wait for a site operator to respond.
You are now chatting with 'Frank'
Frank: Hello. How may I assist you today?
Dark Horse: Hey, just want to know if everything is alright, over there. Strange rumors flying around.
Frank: yes sir, there is no change in here. I don't know what rumors are you referring to but we are working as normal in here
Dark Horse: Site has been offline a lot.
Dark Horse: Recently.
Frank: we had a problem with the website yesterday however everything is back to normal now
Dark Horse: It's been on and off for a few days now.
Dark Horse: What is the reason?
Frank: we had some issues with our website, we had problems on Sunday morning and yesterday only. Our Technical department already took control of the situation and everything is back to normal
Dark Horse: ok, so the problem is in the past now?
Frank: yes
Dark Horse: Some idiot on SBR is saying he has inside info that the US government is trying to shut you down.
Dark Horse: Often Tony is right in there, responding...
Frank: that will be very difficult since we are not in the US and we are not an US company, they have no jurisdiction in here
Dark Horse: They shut down some poker sites recently.
Frank: Sir, again we had an issue with our server and it is fixed now. What we had was a software/hardware issue and has nothing to do with the US goverment
Dark Horse: No denial of service attack either?
Frank: no sir, one more time we had a problem with our server nothing else
Dark Horse: So you don't mind me copying and pasting that, to put everyone at ease?
Frank: well sir the information that I just gave you is available to everybody and you can keep a record of this chat if you want to
Dark Horse: No, I mean on the SBR forum.
Frank: I can not tell you what you can or can not post on the SBR forum. As mentioned before all the information that I gave you is available to everybody
Dark Horse: Ok, I'll keep it to myself then. lol
Dark Horse: But... it better be true.
Frank: I have no reason to lie
Frank: Is there anything else I can assist you with?
Dark Horse: Yes.
Frank: go ahead please
Dark Horse: I would like Tony to drop me a quick note by e-mail confirming that everything is fine at 5D.
Frank: definitively I can left a message for him, but I can not assure you he will be able to send the message
Dark Horse: I chatted with him before. We are pen pals.
Frank: however if you want to talk to him directly you can try to contact him via this same live help
Frank: he is usually available during business hours
Dark Horse: I know. Anyway, thanks and have a good night.
Frank: You're welcome
Frank: You do the same

If the government wanted to seize the domain name, it would be a court warrant filed against the registrar and they would have it - 5Dimes site would work up until the DNS switch to a DOJ site propagated, at which time you'd get the DOJ page. A very different pattern of events to what is happening here, which is symptomatic of a DDOS.
