On the morning of Saturday, September 23, .masterhost servers suffered a distributed DDoS attack. For some time, spurious traffic interfered with access to a number of resources located on the technical site of the hosting provider. According to bloggers, along with .masterhost servers Mail.Ru and SpyLog partially “covered” themselves - some of the services of these companies were not available.
According to Dmitry Glavatsky, head of the pr-department of .masterhost, technical support specialists were able to suppress the attack within an hour and a half by filtering the traffic using special software.
Commenting on the incident, the representative of the hosting provider did not specifically indicate its probable reason: “Usually, attackers make DDoS attacks in order to hinder or terminate access to any resource. The reasons for such attacks can be very different - from personal resentment to the site owner to the desire to get rid of competitors. "
