Domain Name Parking Service Suffers Denial of Service
John Leyden writes on The Register:
Domain name parking service NameDrive restored its services on Friday after coming under a concerted and ferocious denial of service attack from unidentified hackers.More here.
The motives for the attack remain unclear but NameDrive reckons crackers expanded vast resources to flood its website with spurious traffic.
NameDrive offers a service that allows domain owners to "park" inactive domains. Targeted ads are placed on these parked domains, enabling owners to rake in a percentage whenever visitors to the domains click on the ads. These services have now been restored while the firm works on restoring its home page.
