Stop mucking with our hobby sites you hacker fools!
I noticed traxxas having a problem earlier also. Wouldn't it be irony if it were some LHS responsible for the attack.

Stinking hackers. These guys are such cowards. Hiding in a dark room somewhere (mother's basement) behind a PC and trying to make innocent people as miserable as possible.

It's a new form of protesting. They actually accomplished getting congress to back off a bill about a month ago through this type of antics.

That was different, no hacking, just people disabling their own site as a form of protest. Nothing illegal there or immoral there.

Only recently has that been the case. Those have actually been fairly benign. For the most part though, hackers just cause misery for everyday people. Viruses, malware, stealing information, bringing down sites, hacking emails, stealing bandwidth from their neighbors/companies, etc. Just look at all the crap you have to have on your PC just to protect yourself. How often does your PC have to spend running updates on all that just to keep current with the latest malware?? Virus protection, adware protection, firewalls, etc. All that slows down your PC. A bunch a Worthless losers they are.

It was ANONYMOUS. First the CIA's website last week, now Amain. Next thing you know they will be taking down Rctech.

Maybe that was the intention all along. Perhaps the hacker originated from one of the other online vendors or LHS...let the conspiracy theories continue

Site Update:
The site should be running as normal. Of course, we'll be closely monitoring what happens today in case we get hit again, but the IT guys have been working to stop more problems from happening.

PrestonG - The issues did have an affect on order processing these last couple of days, but we should be getting caught up. I'm very sorry for the hold-up, and I appreciate your patience.

Thank you, everyone, for your understanding and sticking with it through the issues this week. You're awesome!
