Big News! Yesterday afternoon The Deuce Goose was hit with a DOS or Denial of Service attack. In a denial of service attack a hacker or group of hackers attempts to disrupt access to a website by flooding the website with requests trying to bring the web server to its knees. These types of attacks are common on the internet although they are generally directed at much larger corporations such as Microsoft or SCO as in the recent MyDoom worm that infected the internet in the last few weeks. My web host contacted me yesterday to let me know about the attack and that they will be pursuing the attackers to the full extent of the law. I can't tell you how honored am that someone would find The Deuce Goose so offensive as to mount this attack. In internet speak this was the equivalent of an assassination attempt, and we all know how much I lust for assassination attempts. Welcome to the big time boys and girls! I feel invigorated.
