DDoS thing?

[quote=DKitten]Um, I was screened for some sort of "anti-DDoS" thing before entering MobaFire today... Is there a reason this was implemented? Or is it malware on my computer?[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]I was scanned too, and earlier the site was down, so it might be a DDoS from somewhere.[/quote]

[quote=Matt]Don't worry, it's not malware, and everyone is seeing it, not just you. We are experiencing a DDoS attack today. In response, we turned on some additional DDoS protection in an effort to keep the site running stable. You shouldn't see it more than once every 15 minutes, at most. Sorry for the inconvenience, it should only be temporary! Edit: As oxide110 pointed out, this is protection managed by CloudFlare - they are a well known service that even Riot makes use of, and the page that says it is checking your browser, is not actually scanning your computer in any way, it has no access to information beyond what your browser normally submits during all requests, to all websites. So it's nothing to worry about, beyond the annoying 5 second delay :)[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]The site was down for a long time earlier so I assume it was getting DDoS'd. Kiddies are DDoSing pretty much everything these days, especially if it's League related.[/quote]

[quote=oxide110]I presume you mean cloudflare? [img=http://puu.sh/7d05E.png] It isn't malware your computer is safe the site uses cloudflare to stay online against ddos attacks and to speed up web browsing by using it's CDN.[/quote]

[quote=-NA- Veng Lmfao]Is it just me or has there been a mass influx in DDOS threats? I've never encountered somebody that has threatened to send me packets, but after this DERP incident, it seems to be happening everywhere I go. Hell, even some kid at school 'threatened' to ddos somebody who was being a smartass to him[/quote]
