Tiscali ISP Downed By Hack Attack

Posted: 19th Mar, 2003 By: MarkJ
The UK ISP wing of Tiscali found itself under a sustained denial of service (DoS) 'hack' attack yesterday, which resulted in a major service outage:

In a statement the company said: "Tiscali has been subject to an external attack on our network. However, we have taken steps to identify the source and isolate the problem.

Service has been restored for Tiscali customers accessing the portal and services through a Tiscali dial-up but the portal is currently unavailable to non-Tiscali subscribers.

Customers can use webmail, outlook, and browse the Internet but may be experiencing occasional delays in accessing the Tiscali portal,
" it said.


Full service now appears to have been restored. One possible motive for the attack could be Tiscali’s failure to resolve its many billing problems. More @ The Register.
