Don't know if anyone has mentioned but gg are apparently under attack from a DDOS... It's definitely been on and off for the last 24hrs+ but no word on what the cause is.
Somebody posted on the forums to make sure u were topped up as they were going to attack it...
Then it went down.

This was a weird one. You could access the forum but not sign in. A lot of connecting ...connecting....then timing out.

I've been told that the firm incapsula is a security form who specialise in DDOS attacks!!
It's been going on for too long now, seems that this threat was serious! They were on yesterday as well. Asking who giffgaffs rivals were, and they'd attack them too! From the language and style of writing, they came across as quite young.

Is that just the giffgaff forum @gindygoo? Quite worrying I should imagine.

From all of the evidence available (my opinion only) it really does seem that it's the threatened DDOS attack continuing!
