I don't buy this for one second

My theory is still a massive DDOS on all poker sites. I can't find confirmation anywhere but all 6 of my poker accounts (not including Party skins) are down nor slow or otherwise almost unplayable.

I've been waiting for DDOS extortionists to make their way to poker sites after making a killing off the sportsbooks.

For the record, what is DDOS?

[Alobar]

Denial of Service. Basically they just flood the server with garbage and that prevents real info from getting in or out

Yea, I got that, but what's DDOS? I know what DOS is.

[Alobar]

The same thing but with one more word in it /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[shandrakor]

Distributed Denial of Service.

Multiple machines all attacking at once.

people smoke pot for.... money? hmmm

[prospector]

The attacks are being sponsered by a coalition of Native American casinos and the US goverment, which hates untaxed sin.

[Alobar]

hmmm,.....good point...but then smoking pot shouldn't be illegal!

[RollaJ]

Is it hard to do a DDOS? It sound like a good way to make a few bucks, and I cant see the US govt really care about attacking an illeagal offshore gambling site. This could make for a hell of a rake rebate
