Previously, I stated here that some site are down, probably because of DDOS attack. Some site, including famous TalkGold.com forum has been up and running very smooth now, probably because of high ddos protection used to protect the site from the attact. MoneyMakerGroup.com (MMG) however, is still suffering from the attack and by the time I write wrote this, their forum has not been work yet.

Posted on TalkGold.com, Radmax, the admin of MMG said that they are now looking for better server to protect their site from the attack in the future.

MMG has been under a near constant and heavy ddos attack for the better part of a month. There have also been sporadic attacks throughout the month that have pushed our configuration over the limit resulting in downtime. To keep this from happening again, we are in the process of upgrading our server configuration by adding more servers and adding an enterprise level ddos solution to help mitigate the attacks.

It is known that both TG and MMG are being used by many autosurf and hyip admins to provide support to their members. A couple of weeks ago when MMG was down due the same attack, some program admin simply complain because they can’t provide support nor getting new users because of the downtime. Another famous monitoring sites, HYIPRanks.com, is also under ddos attack. They managed to online a while back but right now their site is not available again.

On TG forum, a few members asking why in the heck that this happen, why forum getting attack? Who did this and what are their point to ddos the forum?

It is really hard to answer the question. If he ddos has been setup targeting a site, it will take a while to recover from this unless, the site is well protected.

Meanwhile, A3Union continues paying people randomly I guess. They probably do selected payment as some members are still getting paid, most are small amount but some are not. I myself also still trying to withdraw the payment but unsuccessful until now. It has been weeks trying to get the money but heck I almost give up.

I also getting an email from someone asking for help to get the money out. Here is part of the email;-

The program is a SCAM I made investment 5000 USD on 26/08/2007 for 14 days, I have on the account a3union 6400 USD after I want many times made withdraw but is not possible, I send few letters to support and not answer. Today I have block access to my account. Please help me withdraw my money

What I can say here, I cannot do anything either. Mine is stuck in the account. But really don’t know how some members can get their money out. Probably they try to withdraw it every 3 minutes. A3Union previously stated that their Pecunix payment will goes instant. I wish I can change the payment info so I will able to withdraw to Pecunix instead of e-gold.

On the other site, A3Union also posted on their site that from now on, they will be accepting Western Union.

A3Union are proud to inform everyone that Western Union transfers are being accepted now. This is the most easiest way to invest an amount less than our minimum requirement for bank wire.

Beside that, to celebrate their 1 year anniversary, there will be $25,000 give away for 25days. Check out their site for more info.
