I want to communicate to everyone that SlashPhone experienced a slow load time this past Friday because Tribal Fusion's ad servers were attacked by a distributed denial of service attack.

At 8am PDT today, Tribal Fusion's ad servers were attacked by a distributed denial of service attack that affected several popular online web properties and hosting services. As a result, we had intermittent problems serving ads to your webpages which, in some cases, held up the load time of your site.  We have since resolved the issue issue and reinstated our adserving capabilities.

 

Unfortunately, our mail servers were also attacked and we were unable to communicate this issue to you earlier. We a have backup system in place to ensure proactive communications in the future.

 

Thank you for your patience, we will be working actively to institute several levels of redudundancy to ensure this does not occur again. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused.

 

Regards,
The Tribal Fusion Site Representation Team
