Dear Members, This is an official statement from PO-Trading management team. We are pleased to inform you that we are almost past the DDoS attacks that have been interrupting the work of our server this week. Our website is now 100% available only via the https for security reasons. The DDoS attacks started on Monday this week and continued till Saturday. Unfortunately, we have to admit, we were not completely prepared to provide appropriate protection of our server against these really mighty attacks. At the peaks the number of attacking PCs reached 50,000 mark. Even though we had a software firewalls installed on our server, at the beginning they were not effective enough against the DDoS attacks. Therefore, our technical experts were updating and modifying the firewalls 24-7. For your convenience we have also inscreased our international bandwidth four times, so now you can access our website much quicker than before. We have done this so that you could access your accounts and operate them in full via https. Despite all the technical problems we have come across this week, this week's investment performance was as stable as it had always been before. We have paid every single interest payment. However, for solely technical reasons we could not process all interest payments on time on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The DDoS attacks were at their peaks on those days and our server was totally unavailble. We have made all pending payments in full on Friday. We would also like to remind you of the fact that we have already been online for over 100 days now. We have been registered on all major investment ratings and boards that monitor our performance daily. Throughout this term we have not missed a single interest payment and some of our members have already earned more than 200% in interest payments. We can assure you that we are working hard on increasing the returns on your investments. Thank you for staying with us. With respect, Michael Swafford, PO-Trading Head Manager. |
