Formal Apology to Disco Community

[TheMillers]

I know someone who is a WAN engineer. I was talkin to him about suggesting the use of a tarpit to try and prevent the attacks, and he said he reccognized the attack. He said that it was very possible that someone gained backdoor access to the server, put malware on the mod, and when it got released it made that computer DDoS attack the server.

I did some research and saw this was pretty plausible, so I made that post. I tried my best NOT to blame the modders/admins, but the focus still fell on them from you.

Honestly, it was a possibility and since i had seen nothing on it I wanted to explore it. I even said that i didnt know if it was true.

But since I have offended you so greatly, I am sorry. I truly did not mean you to take offense from it.

Your "WAN engineer" friend needs to get his head unstuck from the place on his body that is highest when picking strawberries, since it currently resides there. Firmly.

Coming up with such a scenario without having any information about the nature of the attack, nor having examined the fileset he accuses of such a scenario, means he is blowing hot air out of all his bodily orifices. Except the one that normally is used to sit on, since that one is blocked by his head residing there.

You should possibly do the same, since it has been stated countless of times, that the server was not physically compromised in any way, but it was the data transport mechanism that was attacked.

It is admirable that you want to try and help the admins and the community, but frankly IMHO with help like what you have managed to do with regards to the situation we are in now, you are assisting the nubtard who did the attacks, in harming the community.

Just my 0.02 Sirius Cr.'s worth...
