DoS attack on Netscammers Blog

I noticed quite a large spike on the graph located under the "a$$es saved" just to the right of the posts this morning.
I must be doing something right.

Here is an explaination of a DoS attack:

A quick look at my blog's stats revelaed that there were 865,828 page views in the time period of:
2011 Aug 9 03:25 – 2011 Aug 9 05:00

Below is a screen capture of the stats which shows where the attack came from.
The computers were in the countries:
Indonesia
Vietnam
India
Thailand
Egypt
Pakistan
South Korea
Mexico
Singapore
Brazil

Perhaps ISP's in those countries should make thier users aware of the benefits of a firewall.



Oh! what a tangled web we weave When first we practise to deceive! Sir Walter Scott NEVER use instant payment services like Western Union or MoneyGram to buy items on the internet
