Prowler	What happened to the site? Have not been able to access it since midnight last night. This message has been edited by Prowler on 01-25-2003 at 04:24 PM
Gary C	It was not us, it was the provider if I understand correctly, millions were effected by a worm virus the servers had and not us,,,,,,,, Whew click here for full story ------------------ GaryC@ProwlerOnline.com Prowler Products by GaryE, formally Carlini
Dave Mills	The site still seems to be sluggish but at least it is running.
Gary C	It might be sluggish for a while, better than nothing, the poor dial up people,,,, oh well, better than playing Hearts,,,,,,,,,,
Gary C	The virus-like attack, which began about 12:30 a.m. EST, sought out vulnerable computers on the Internet to infect using a known flaw in popular database software from Microsoft Corp. called "SQL Server 2000." The attacking software was scanning for victim computers so randomly and so aggressively, sending out thousands of probes a second, that it saturated many Internet data pipelines. Most home users did not need to take any protective measures

Mike Krehel	The worm didn't attack our server, but it went after an SQL database flaw on Windows 2000 servers. The worm was replicating so fast that it killed most internet traffic on the east coast and overseas. It took down the Department of Defense , NASDAQ, and lots of other services, in fact Continental Airlines is still down! The irony of it all is that Microsoft released a patch back in July and so many people didn't install it. ProwlerOnline runs on Linux, not windows.
1buddyc	Thanks for the sit-rep, Mike.
CJ	Glad everything is back up and running, Mike.......
Brian King	Thanks Guys For getting the site back up, sure seems strange to go on line and not be able to access your favorite site. Makes you wonder what it would be like without Prowler On Line. Once again Thanks.
Prowler	Thanks for the info. Was starting to experience withdrawls there for a while.

Ed - The word in the western half of the U.S. was that you had something to do with the down time of the internet. Fess up!!! Something to do with you predicting the Bengals and the Cardinals in the Super Bowl next year. And you think the Begals are losers,,,,top this,,,, in the 82 year history of the football Cardinals, they have had only 23 winning seasons. To top that,,,,they announced yesterday that they are raising ticket prices, LOL,,,,for what?
