Good luck, guys. We had left an incoming open on our FTP server for our
Unix guys to upload code on. BTW, this occurred over the Thanks Giving
Holiday. Anyway a guy from .ru uploaded the latest version of
(sp)Tumbarator 5 which had just been released in Europe, that morning &
Mummy. Then the bum put our IP address on all the warez sites and we had so
may people hitting our server that we had no bandwidth left back to the
Internet and no more ports on our FTP Unix server.
It got so bad that we had to deny all of Europe just to take some of the
load off us. Then for the next 60 days we handled the US group. Needless
to say we logged everything and contacted the software groups involved and
made them available. But it was a nightmare for a long time at our office.
So I can sympathize with your problems.
