Posted on September 3, 2010DDoS attack mitigated
Dear customers,
We were victims of extortion 15 days ago. An online blackmail gang from East Europe contacted us and told us to pay them $10,000 as protection money. In return, our website will not be attacked and shut down. The owners of HooPay rejected the “protection offer“.
Within a week of that initial contact, the website was hammered with a Brute Force and a DDoS attack. The engineers at the Data Center hosting the site were quick to deploy preventive measures to block the DDOS which lasted for days in intervals or 15 to 20 minutes between attacks but it was not enough. Few of our servers were broken consequence of the DDoS attack and we are fixing them today.The attackers gave up after a week. The DDoS has been mitigated and the attack is over.
For that reason you are now reading this news. The website will be ready as fast as possible and you will have all services ready to use.
We are going to integrate some tools to prevent this damage in the future and we are in contacts to get a DDoS solution from a famous DDoS mitigation company.
HooPay will has new features in the website when we return the next week.
Thank you for your understanding.
HooPay team.

Hi everybody,
The holidays are upon us, which means a little bit of mirth, merriment, rest and relaxation so that we can all be in good shape to take on the exciting challenges of the New Year — 2010!
With that said, HooPay's offices and Customer Support line will be closed on Friday, December 25, 2009 and Friday, January 1, 2010.
