Kick, You are right CRIS has always been solid as a rock and paid very fast. That being said, I am of the old fool me once shame on you.. fool me twice shame on me mentality.

They just got their system smoked last week and Im sure it cost them plenty. I know iIlaid off at two other offshores that I rarely use, and am sure that countless others did likewise. Perhaps there is no real defense against a sharp DOS attack,(perhaps some of the sharper computer guys here could enlighten me) but I am left wondering if CRIS did all that they could to avoid the same problem from occuring twice in 5 days.:confused:

yep good point Spang......I know a bit about hacking but by no means am I an expert on the situation.........who knows what is going on behind the scenes (wonder if CRIS is going to pay em off or keep fighting them??) but I'm sure by next weekend all will be resolved. Of course, I could be wrong. I must give them credit though, they have been very pleasant on the phone and I have had no problems with any wagers. I'm sure it must suck to be in the office with tons of angry customers calling 24/7.....and on top of that having hackers demand money from ya :eek:


at least the hackers haven't tapped into the phone lines.....:eek:

This is pathetic.Down all night and still down this morning. Denial of service never last this long. The stooges must have found a new job.
