When I tap the link in your post that is exactly what appears.

Never understood the hacker thing. Just seemed like a way for terrified people to feel the illusion of control. Just being an ass as far as I can tell.

It's happening on a lot of forums. The FZ1OA has been seeing daily attempts, mostly coming from Chinese IP addresses.

Well I hope they don't get this one.Also hope KZR gets back on line..

D O S seems to be more common.

[SVSooke]

D O S? What is that one?

[blowerbike]

denial of service...

[blowerbike]

In computing, a denial-of-service (DoS) or distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users. A DoS attack generally consists of efforts to temporarily or indefinitely interrupt or suspend services of a host connected to the Internet.

OK what ever it was it ends up to be the same thing.It was "sighed" though.

Running around trying to do ten things at once, and "Mike from the windows technical department" just called.

He's Pat O'Connor when he calls here. We used to play games with them usually ending with a completely gullible user i.e. us , spelling out L...I....N....U....X from a highly jittery attacked screen. What does that word mean , is that the virus we would ask.....click. Now it's becoming boring. My wife once hung up on them and he called straight back accusing her ' Oh Madam, that was not very polite' which was true but hardly the point. On a certain level I have sympathy for Mike and Pat. I can only imagine the working conditions.

Which reminds me.... did anyone else notice a high number of ' server busy, try again' messages here on Sunday?

The site was working early yesterday, so it appears to have happened late morning. I did send an email to Stein - the webmaster for that site. I see it is offline at the moment, so hopefully it is getting restored now.

It's amazing, and sad, that some people don't have anything better to do than crash out something as harmless as a motorcycle forum. The traffic through KZRider is minimal anyway. Nothing like the GSR.

On a side note, the difference between KZR and GSR is profound. KZR has some knowledgeable folk, but they few and far between. The guys there embrace Carb Kits, aftermarket gaskets, and shunt R/R's.

Really?I never noticed that much difference.Mind you at this point I spend way more time here as I'm still trying to get the 78 1000 done before getting sunk into the GPz.The KZ spectrum is smaller to as they where made for less time and fewer models than the GS making a smaller base.
I"m baffled as to why someone would hack any motorcycle forum to,Small thing to amuse small minds?
