Because the author prefers to play some stand-alone games, the well-known stand-alone game websites Youxia.com and Youxia Forum are frequent places. Yesterday (3rd) night, as usual, the author clicked on the Ranger Forum to see some posts about the game, but was unable to access it. Access was not restored until noon today. I originally thought that the server of the Youxia website was out of order, because this kind of incident has happened before, but this is the first time that it has been inaccessible for more than ten hours, so it is also suspected that it may have suffered a serious attack. Baidu has been attacked before. Black is an example, so the possibility of the Ranger being attacked by hackers is also very high. Today (4th) afternoon, webmaster website admin5.com reported news that the Youxia.com forum suffered a high-traffic DDOS attack for more than ten hours. Starting around 11 o'clock last night, the server of the Youxia.com forum in Zhejiang continued to encounter high-traffic DDOS attacks for more than ten hours. As of noon today, normal access has just resumed. Youxia.com said it has reported this to the public security agency where the server is located and is currently cooperating with the public security agency in collecting evidence.
We all know that DDOS attacks are one of the most common forms of network attacks. The full name of DDOS attack is distributed denial of service attack, that is, many attack sources access a certain server together, creating high traffic of useless data, causing network congestion, and preventing the victim host from communicating with the outside world normally. The principle of DDOS is very simple, but it is difficult to prevent it. Once attacked, the website will be paralyzed for a long time. Unless you install a corresponding hardware firewall, you can prevent DDOS attacks. Youxia.com also temporarily installed a firewall at noon today and was able to restore access. A well-known stand-alone game website like Youxia.com has large traffic and strong influence, and the number of users of the website is also very large. The highest number of online users in the Youxia.com forum is more than 18,000, with an average of 12,000 people online. Not installing a hardware firewall should mean that security awareness is relatively low. But it's not too late to make amends. It has returned to normal after timely treatment. From the recent hacking of Youxia and the Baidu domain name hacking not long ago, it can be seen that website security is very important. Without a safe and stable website operating environment, it is difficult to ensure that the website can develop better.
There was news before that personal websites had changed their faces and were “looking for other ways out” and some websites had gone overseas. From December last year to the present, efforts to rectify obscene, pornographic and other harmful information on the Internet have been significantly intensified, and the application for the real-name system of Internet domain names has also ended on January 31. Under this circumstance, some personal website webmasters began to "find another way out." Regardless of whether it is an illegal porn website or a regular website, in order to avoid the possible impact of network regulation, domain names and website data have been transferred abroad. In particular, the decline of CN domain names and the difficulty of transferring them abroad have also made many CN users frustrated and decided to use foreign registered .com as their website and place the management of domain names under foreign domain name providers. However, although transferring domain names and website data overseas can avoid being affected by network regulation, it is difficult to guarantee security and stability.
Although foreign domain name space services are good and prices are cheap, after all, in foreign countries, first of all, the access speed is affected, and secondly, it is more troublesome to solve access failures. Although the server of Youxia.com is located in China, it was inaccessible for a long time after being attacked by DDOS because there was no firewall installed. After getting in touch with the computer room in time, the firewall was installed and everything returned to normal. If the website server is placed abroad, if a problem occurs, it will definitely not be possible to contact IDC in time to handle it quickly. In this way, although the website will be moved abroad to avoid the risk of being shut down, the website operating environment will be unstable and safe. The coefficient is relatively low, which will also bring a lot of unnecessary losses to the website. There are also security and stability issues when domain names are transferred overseas. The previous hacking of Baidu domain names was caused by the management of domain names being placed abroad and there were loopholes in the management. Pufferfish is delicious but highly poisonous. If you try your best to eat pufferfish, there is always an uncertain chance of poisoning. In order to make the website run better, today's individual webmasters choose to move abroad, which is like eating pufferfish to the death, which has certain security risks. This is also the main reason why many small and medium-sized individual webmasters call for network rectification to better protect the interests of formal websites. While supervising, they should provide individual webmasters with a safe and stable website environment, instead of driving them all "outside". (Text/Yangyang)
