21Sextury Suffers Huge DDoS Attack

21SexturyCash, home of Pix and Video informed affiliates a number of days ago that their sites and affiliate system were hardly accessible these days as they are under continuous DDoS attacks. As of this week, Existing memberships and rebills are mostly working, signups are hardly working and the affiliate system is not accessible all the time and from all locations. They have today issued an update on the situation and informed webmasters that they have finished migrating their affiliate programs under the Prolexic DDOS protection network. So the affiliate programs are up and running.

To defend this DDOS protection they had to invest lots of money upfront and on a recurring monthly basis. Even tho that due to the new costs we lost a full year of growth, they are happy to pay this extra cost in order to protect your and their business in the future. In the mean time as they expected, the attackers went on the website front ends as well. So right now we started to migrate all of their websites under the DDOS protection umbrella. It seems that it will take a few more couple of days to finish the migration of all the websites. Hopefully no more than 48hrs.

The intensity and execution of the attack we faced in the past few days were professionally developed. The attackers went through step by step on everything what could cause them operation failure. Their target was/is obviously to destroy their business, their reputation and their brand. Mostly in front of you as our partner, they thank the webmasters who stayed loyal to the affiliate program throughout these troubles.
