@BrookDavisAW @KinksterMike It's the first time it's been of this type. Previous DDOS attempts have been thwarted by our protection systems

Problems continue as do our attempts to resolve them. There is a plan and it is being enacted at the moment.
Yeah, I've made several attempts to log into the JCI website version, and got the error message each time.
Omg my MONEYS. I'm on dailypay and I expected that money for this weekend but it's not going to be there... was only like £30 but I needed that for drinks :'( what a crap weekend.
Latest updates:
It will be hours, early evening best case. We cannot beat the attack we have to upgrade and absorb it.
We're still working, 2 fixes in progress ATM. Hardware being couriered across Europe. Sincere apologies for the outage. We know the impact.
I wonder what sort of legal action AW could take when they find who did this? Fuckers have cost us all thousands!!
I am completely lost without AW today! :(
I don't really understand what a system attack means but is money/credit affected?
Thanks ladies
Here is the whole history of whole situation of AW, and they mentioned that credits system it will not be affected:

@KinksterMike You deny membership to enough trafficked / organised groups, you'll get this kind of attention.

@KinksterMike Hello Mike - yes and a couple of others riding off the back of the AW brand. Seems they're all targeted.

We're still trying to find a workable solution. 200,000 connection attempts per second from thousands of different IPs.

Please do not start scaremongering about credits and ID. This is a denial of service attack.

Seems the Site is being subjected to a Distributed Denial of Service attack, which is having the desired effect. Working to resolve now.
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
Oh thank you nadia29 :) that makes more sense to me :)
sorry i'm rubbish with all this internet stuff!
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 :(
This is was their tweet about the "why" and "who":

I don't want to alarm anyone............but does anyone still get checks from aw? As i do and its not cleared from last week! I am rather worried as someone from another forum reckons its closed down. I hope to hell not.
Well it is a good sign that AW came on for a few minutes. I was able to get one phone chat in before it shut down again. Fingers crossed.
