suhrmajesty Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I removed my User ID in this screenshot before uploading. I was able to login prior to last night with Launchbox but now it's not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circo Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Understood, our server has been taking a ddos attack for the past 12 hours. They were attacking the supermodel3 website and forum we were giving hosting to. We have suspended the site and blocked china outright at the server level but 6000 requests a second are slowing things down and some requests occasionally get interrupted. It should clear up soon, but in the meantime just give it a few minutes and try again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suhrmajesty Posted August 3 Author Share Posted August 3 Understood, thanks for the update and for working to resolve it, I appreciate the transparency. I'll give it a bit more time and try logging in again shortly. In the meantime, just wanted to let you know that I'm still unable to log in successfully over the last hour. If there's any other workaround or status update, I'd love to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen a small site that averaged 250 hits a day for over a decade swell to over 1million hits an hour for over 12 hours straight. He had to park the domain completely to stop it.

Thank you for the updates. I just tried a few minutes ago and I'm getting the same error message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suhrmajesty Posted August 3 Author Share Posted August 3 I went ahead and reset my password on the site. Then, in LaunchBox, I restarted LaunchBox and entered the new password and saved it. I got the same error message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still unable to log in for me. I wonder if the site was being attempted to be scraped for AI stuff and not only a DDOS attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the site was being attempted to be scraped for AI stuff and not only a DDOS attack Nothing was pointed at EmuMovies and we have cloudflare for that, plus no media is actually on this server just the website and authentication. It was an old phpbb forum that got flagged somehow. There were two quick attacks over the past week. The site was taken down and all was well and when the owner of the Supermodel 3 site went to fix it and the site was reenabled the massive attack started. I will say having AI to parse logs is way nicer than how it used to be 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
