Portal Attacked and Targeted

The police and investigators re still looking at the reasons behind a recent attack on the servers that housed the incredibly popular German information portal CasinoMeister.com. CasinoMeister is one of the top information portals in the market because the site offers extensive reviews of all of the online casinos currently operating in the market, as well as software reviews, player tournament updates, and general industry news. CasinoMeister is a staple in the industry and often the first place that new gamblers look to when they are seeking out information about the industry and the most reputable online casino sites on which they should play.

CasinoMeister was down for a short period of time over the weekend because of DDoS attacks on the site that really came out of nowhere. Although these attacks are fairly frequent on online casinos, an information portal is a bit different. Those behind the hack into the site have not indicated that they wanted anything from the attacks other than basic show of power that comes from shutting down a major site – no extortion requests have been made. CasinoMeister was actually able to recover from the attacks incredibly fast (24 hours) and have fixed the weakness that allowed the hijackers to attack their site in the first place.

One of the key reasons that the online casino information portal was down for a full day was so that the site was able to completely move its information to a new server that is more able to securely handle such a large and popular site as CasinoMeister.com.
