>I am not sure whether it could be the same reason, but our site was target of attacks that exploited unpatched IIS vulnerabilities. From 4th of August to today, there are 79 hits from 12 different IPs (AOL subscriber, Russian one, from Czech republic, Hungary, Spain, Israel (especially nasty attacks), three that are one hop to Alter.NET, two DSL subscribers of different companies and client of Barneys-NewYork.com). Some of this attacks has hanged our IIS server (hours when the server was down and the IP addresses of the attackers available on request). We have fixed the exploited vulnerabilities in our IIS and now it is running OK. I suggest that the russian team should check ther IIS log for requests that look odly (for example contain

..%5c..

character sequence).

Hi Zlatin,

I guess, guys did everything in their power to restore our site. We now have a new link to it.

I'm sending it to Michel and nobody else for now to prevent other attacks.
