IRC Chat Server will be Switched Off
This is not a special amiga thing but I often see users using AmIRC at the IRC-NET.
The oldest chatserver irc.uni-erlangen.de became a target of massive DDoS attacks from england yesterday (sunday).
The IRC-operators were forced to cut the connection of the chatserver off because the homepage of the university of erlangen
was not longer reachable. With that the premiere HUB-server for the whole EU was offline. If someone attacks
irc.freenet.de now the whole EU will be cut off from the IRCNET.
irc.uni-erlangen.de will be online again by tomorow. Some of the attackers came from germany. Hopefully they will be soon
uncovered and be called to account.
