So apparently some genius thought he could make some quick cash by combining affiliate links from Incentaclick/CX Digital and bit-torrent. There’s only one catch…..it resulted in a massive DDOS attack on the incentaclick servers, knocking them offline for practically all day. Needless to say, some people were pissed (shit, I don’t even want to think about all folks who just lost big $$ due to their PPC links being dead). Rumor going around on #cakes (irc.freenode.com – don’t be a stranger) is that it’s more than just their servers that were hit, the ping attack took-out part of their entire network. If that’s the case then don’t plan on switching back to your incentaclick links anytime soon… such a shame.
Brilliant work kid!
