Update - Tiscali ISP Hack Attack
Posted: 20th Mar, 2003 By: MarkJ
UK ISP Tiscali has officially confirmed that its services and portal are now back online. The provider has also stated its intention to track down and prosecute those involved:
A spokeswoman for the company told The Register: "If we can identify who the people are behind this then we will pursue prosecution."
The comments come as Tiscali UK is continuing to investigate the incident that downed its portal yesterday and created havoc for its users.
The ISP has so far declined to give any more details about the incident but has described it as a "sustained" denial of service attack.
Note that Tiscali has added a 'temporary' e-mail security measure; only Tiscali users connecting via the ISPs own dialup or broadband connections can access the associated servers.
