on the 26th of January 2004 a DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack almost brought the main router and backbone of the Internet provider where Fibsboard is situated to it's knees. :angry:  :angry:

Although the mailservers kept working, the router blocked all entrance of website to spare the networking and to keep the hackers from trashing the network.

:wacko:

Anyway, we are back online (actually never went offline, only shielded from the outside world). :D
