NerdBux Starts to Pay for Referral Clicks on Micro Ads

It's another good news for NerdBux users. Yesterday, Justin Ledvina- administrator of NerdBux announced that they have begun to pay for referral clicks on Micro ads.

Read the announcement here: We now pay for referral clicks on Micro Ads

It was definitely good news and a must take kind a action for them. As I said earlier, they wanted a serious turn over about their referral program. Let's hope this will benefit us all.

ClixSense is Down - PTC DDoS Attack

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 08:22

Members, 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)

Nerdbux under Denial of Service Attack on 14th October 2013

Today about 06am (IST) NerdBux users received an email from Justin Ledvina- CEO of TimTech LLC revealing the NerdBux is under a heavy Denial of Service attack. It has caused Nerdbux to go offline. The email is as followed:

Hi


Yesterday I was quite excited about the coming holiday season as you already know from my last email. Well it seems not everyone likes to be happy with us. We are currently under a heavy Denial of Service attack and this has caused Nerdbux to go offline.
This is sad news indeed but I'm not going to allow some grumpy Gus ruin our excitement.
I'll will extend all ads and rented referrals so no one loses anything. No need to send in a support ticket we're going to do it for everyone as soon as we can. Beyond that look for some special treats inside the members area so we can get this party rocking again!


Thank you all for being the best members on the planet and for your patience while some internet trolls try to ruin our fun.


Justin Ledvina
CEO TimTech LLC

What is a Denial of Service (DoS) attack

A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users. Although the means to carry out, motives for, and targets of a DoS attack may vary, it generally consists of efforts to temporarily or indefinitely interrupt or suspend services of a host connected to the Internet.


Increasingly, DoS attacks have also been used as a form of resistance. DoS they say is a tool for registering dissent. Richard Stallman has stated that DoS is a form of 'Internet Street Protests’. The term is generally used relating to computer networks, but is not limited to this field; for example, it is also used in reference to CPU resource management.

UPDATE
