As many will know, a few days ago our I.T. systems were again the focus of a series of well-coordinated DDoS attacks. We suspect that these attacks will continue, off and on, for a little longer yet.
Our brand, customer base and finances remain strong, despite the effort to disrupt our business. We have had a couple of difficult days for sure, but we have now met every challenge that this group has dealt us, and we are still standing tall.
We have many very bright and passionate people working around the clock (sometimes literally) to protect our business and keep our customers as happy possible. The commitment and collaboration demonstrated over the last month has been impressive.
As you might appreciate by the $250,000 cash reward on our dafabet site (and on other forums), we are starting to fight back. We have received a surprising amount of validated and critical information which will be invaluable to us over the coming weeks. The reward was a small risk, well worth taking.
Even though it might not feel like it, we are growing stronger as a business and as a team with every attack and successful defense. As they say, “what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger”. We have already started to put in place some significant system upgrades that will ultimately build stronger ongoing resilience against attacks of this nature.
In the meantime, please try and be patient with anyone involved directly (or indirectly) with these attacks and for any communication issues. As a business, we appreciate that ongoing communication is key, as well as difficult, at a time like this. We will try and get the balance right and keep all appropriate people well informed.
To everyone who is working hard and smart to minimize the effect of this attack on our players, which is most of us, the effort is truly appreciated. When the time is right, we will celebrate together and recognize those people that have really gone above and beyond.
