Yep I would be happy to suggest your most probably wrong.

As Amy has already mentioned, we have them here occasionally, and from xmas onwards we had a spate of them, and were still here.

The attack will in time burn out, but as it is difficult if not impossible to cut it off at source you just have to wait it out, while trying to limit damage, as for AW bluffing you, its more a case of they can only guess how long its going to continue for.

My feeling is that Adult work is going to be one of those high profile sites that used to be. A denied access attack sure sounds definite to me. Hopefully am wrong, but my gut instink right from the stalling of aw down, told me some thing major wasn't right. Aw said they will be up and running on a few occasions yesterday via their twitter feed but didn't for fill. So looks like they are just going to carry on stalling people until they turn around realizing their bluffing us.

Adultwork could easily just abandon the site and retire on their millions!

Seems the Site is being subjected to a Distributed Denial of Service attack, which is having the desired effect. Working to resolve now.

i hope its not, its the only site i use. built a really good reputation on there!
if we do get it back i dont think it will be OK, i reckon they might loose alot of stuff/data etc

its like the film hackers!

Hardware arrives 19:30 UK time. If all goes well we could be up by 20:30. Again, please accept our sincere apologies for this outage.

Hi I am sure AW will be back up and running soon. They have the hardware so fingers crossed it will be ok. Escort Ireland had a similar problem a few years ago and the site was down for 2 days. But once they got it sorted it was fine and there were no more problems xxx

I've been on there as an escort since 2008, and been using the site since 2006, in that time there has been a number of hacking attempts, and it has been down for short periods previously (eg around a day) so it's just one of those things, as much as hackers constantly come up with new ways to attack, there are new ways to defend, it's an ongoing battle between the two, so I really would not worry.

Thank you for posting this. I've never experienced one of these attacks before, so was confused!

Ugh... they really need to sort this out soon. Its the only place I advertise (because I like to be able to check out feedback before I arrange bookings), and its costing me work :/

I may be naive not to know , but are there any simliar sites about....? Adultwork is the only one I've used since I started escorting in July last year!

No problems! I had a total meltdown the first time it happened! lol! Around 2008 - 2010 it used to be really slow, but then they upgraded the server and that was a nightmare too, as it didn't quite go to plan! lol! There was quite a bit of downtime then too.... It seems this is the worst attack so far, but they have always pulled out the stops to get things fixed before, so even if they get a temporary fix, I'm sure they'll find a work-around in future.

Adultwork are also always making tweaks and improvements, it seems to be a constantly evolving thing so I don't think it's going to disappear any time soon. This attack is just bigger than before and has taken them by surprise no doubt.

This was just posted -

FRIDAY 12 APRIL Our engineers are continuing their efforts but hardware is required that cannot be sourced overnight. Hoping a for mid-morning resolution.

LATEST UPDATE It will be hours, early evening best case. We cannot beat the attack we have to upgrade and absorb it.

That is just me dreading the worst over reacting.
