The mighty ClixSense was attacked with heavy a server load on August 13th, 2013 about 10PM (IST). This is the forum post by Admin revealing the current status of ClixSense:
#1 by Admin » Wed Aug 14, 2013 08:22Members, Tuesday night August 13th about 10PM Eastern Time ClixSense was hit with a very large ddos attack. So large infact that our current ddos protection could not keep up. Right now the attack seems to have been filtered and we're back online. We do not know if this will happen again, but please note we will not stop working on this until it's completely stopped.
ClixSense will work with local and federal authorities to help try and catch the individuals responsible. We have already been in contact with the FBI Cyber Crimes division and we are making changes that will protect us in the future for very large ddos attacks.
There may be some errors or features of ClixSense that are not working for example the toolbar. We will get these back online as soon as possible.
We apologize for the downtime and will do everything we can to keep the site up.
Thank you
Admin(+54)

Good News! Looks like ClixSense has been able to eliminate the attack.
