The mozdev site is back online
The mozdev site
was taken down by a distributed denial of service last week.
The site is now
back online and is mostly functional. Mozdev is now running on
new server hardware.

The mozdev site is back online Posted Jul 8, 2003 12:56 UTC (Tue) by clugstj (subscriber, #4020) [Link] I saw a lot of comments on mozillazine wondering why mozdev was attacked. I think the answer is simple - it was easily attackable. The admin of the site admitted that it was running a very old OS. It is kind of a survival of the fittest. Think about a pack of hyenas looking over a herd of gazelles. Do they pick the one that pissed them off last week, or do they go for the weakest. (Yes, I am comparing script kiddies to a pack of dogs.)
