As I understand it the website itself is fine. What is happening is AW is receiving 200,000 hits a min and is cause the server to crash.

Their facebook page is a little more informative and says this for anyone worried about featuring:

"AdultWork.com We will be back online in a few hours at the most 5 hours, as for refund for been featured, then yes we will refund credits back to your account, please use the help pages on the site later tonight, many thanks"

What i want to know is, why? Why would anyone do this? My theory is that a) someone was illegitimately earning money and had racked up thousands of credits and then got banned and now they're pissed off b) someone against pornography is trying to make a statement or c) some kid is pissed off because models wouldn't show tits in freechat

There is no doubt that this denial of service attack is personal. They pissed someone off but good!

Poor Adultwork. :/

It sucks that they have to deal with this. Someone is fucking with their (and our) ability to make money ON PURPOSE. The attacker(s) know what the fuck they are doing.

There have been a few attacks recently but so far they only slowed down service, didn't put the site out completely! This time whoever it is means business. Fortunately DOS attacks are very expensive to maintain so attackers can't usually keep it up for long. When HSBC was down a monlth or so ago their websites were offline for 11 hours :/

There was talk on the anonymous forum about an attack on aw because of trafficked/ pimped and underage girls. However aw have been working hard to get rid of the pimps etc so it could equally be one of those groups with a massive axe to grind :(

We're not out of the woods yet. There are many issues to resolve and are still under attack. Please bear with us. Thanks for support.

You can get on the website but it is still slow because they are still under attack.

I'm starting to worry now. Does anyone know if payments will be affected by this? I get mine transfered into a uk bank account and am due money Tuesday. I think it will depend on wether the sites back up and running as normal or not. I personally wouldn't worry, they will sort it, AW is going no where.


Just to add I am camming on there right now!

Yaaayyyy Latest info:

Site Outage (Thursday - Saturday) On Thursday morning the Site was subjected to a Denial of Service attack. The attack was successful in preventing anyone from being able to access the Site. Our Engineers have been working round the clock for two days to get things back up and running, which they now are.

There are still many issues to resolve and we are working through them as quickly as possible.

During the outage updates were provided via our Twitter account. Whilst further outages are not expected, we would encourage members to add this page to their favourites in case of future problems. https://twitter.com/AdultWorkcom

No data has been lost or compromised as a result of the attack.

Any members due refunds for facilities paid for over the last few days will be dealt with within the next 48 hours.

We thank you for your support, loyalty and patience at this time and whole heartedly apologise for the inconvenience the perpetrators have caused you. Steps are already being taken to be able to handle and respond more quickly to any future attack of this nature.

If we can't access AW then DP won't be able to either and they need to so they know how much to pay everyone. If I was you I would wait to see if the site comes back up tonight, if still nothing by the morning then contact DP directly, if they can help they will.
