Biggest Bookmaker in the world under DDOS attack
- Thread starter kickserv
- Start date
Still down. There IT department must be pretty insignificant. This DDoS is said to be similar to the Twitter attack of a few weeks ago. They weren't down 4+ days.
That being said, they paid be a significant amount of coin a couple of weeks ago a day after it was requested.
That good will is on thin ice.

Hopefully no individual accounts get hacked.
I wouldn't want my 3 dollars to go missing once I can log back into my account:mj07:
And yes I think they need to hire some new people in their IT dep't. They are a billion dollar company, surely they could spend some of that cash on somebody with a hacking background that knows what the fuck is happening.
They have lost millions of dollars because of this hack, huge loss of cash for them.
I was limited to really small wagers. Didn't bet there for a few years and my limits went back up.
Go figure !!!! :mj07:

WillHill Sportsbook Back Online Following DDoS Outage
British bookmaker William Hill is back online. The sportsbook has fielded complaints over Twitter for much of the last six days as they were hit with what was described as a sophisticated DDoS attack.
Thousands of players were unable to log-in and place a sports wager online during the time-frame though the mobile app continued to work as normal.
A distributed denial of service attack works by overwhelming a web server with thousands of junk requests to flood the system and cause disruption.

The mobile app was not functioning either. The site was down until Sunday morning for most Canadiens.
just out of curiosity, don't mean to dis-mean you in any way,
why would play at william hill vs pinnacle ?
also might be a good reason to have multiple sportsbooks that take canadians for a situation like this.
pinnacle, sportsinteraction,the greek, even a good sponsor at madjacksports betagame all take canadians.
and i am not dissing canadians, i live outside out of ottawa myself.
