The server has plenty of capacity. Planning early on before the move put the site on a server built to handle a much bigger load. The view of management, that would be me, is long term, not quarter to quarter.
All of the above. But then you also realize that the new place is not using the "secret sauce" and the burgers actually taste better. And the grill is freshly cleaned so the food is not giving everyone the hives.
Checked this morning using Safari and I could get to the main page then when I went to Market Place got the warning. Not really that upset as I have enjoyed the discussions over here on MA.
So where lays the responsibility for "Safe Surfing" on a site?
If your systems are damaged through no fault of your own, and the litigious world we live in, how long before a class action lawsuit?
I've asked a legal eagle I know to check into what the site owners liability may be when the site unknowingly, by the site owner, is delivering malware.
So for the hell of it Peter gives IB a call this morning and speaks to " our " rep. At first she claims that she doesn't know what he is talking about and he takes her thru the process of searching for the site and low and behold she gets the red square of death warning . She acts all surprised but when he says that how can we feel comfortable sending our customers to a site that gives our malware as a lovely parting gift she suddenly became all aware of the situation and said something to the effect that NAM is fine its the servers that have a problem. All in all its BS and has gone on for just about a week now . I go there on my Ipad and for the most part it is business usual and hardly anyone seems to be aware of the risk they are taking .
Yup...they all have their heads stuck up their butts...trying to hide what happened...and they let it go on for sooo long....IF tiny site like this can fix the issue...they can't a huge company (comparatively) like IB fix it faster?! Cause they are all covering their butts...and pretending that nothing is/was ever wrong!!
Have they made an announcement?
NO:frown2:
Have they provided a page listing what tools to use to see if you are infected?
NO:incazzato:
Have they listed the infections possible? Or listed which OS's or browsers were vulnerable?
NO..they just say not so serious...:mad5:
But if you read through the Google links...one site used 22 (if i remember right exploits to try to commandeer your machine, another 4, another 2!).
Sure it happens....but their handling of it has been totally irresponsible...it has gone on far too long...Make me wonder if someone in IB was mad (due to a pay-cut perhaps, or maybe doesn't like his co-workers?) and slipped in the redirect..knowing the site was vulnerable, and got a cut of the $$ made by selling the machines that were taken over!!
Machines that are compromised are sold...kinda packaged in groups, and used in a modern day protection racket....the old line.."It would be a shame if your betting website was "unreachable" for the world Series...give us $$, and we will make sure it does not happen....other machines are used to forward spam...but this is less common..it slows down machines so much...folks get it fixed quick...but machines used in the DOS attacks, can be used time and time again...and the owner never notices...it just seems SLOW on some days...:confused5:
