My only guess that after reading a few articles recently, the Storm Worm's Fast Flux botnet had recently had many 419 scams that passed through not long ago, also in turn this is a reason why they might have been DDOSed, because the Storm Worm had some effort in doing that.
I think that I read on the site that it was Botnet zombie machines in Romania.

Quite a few sites have been hammered for over a month now. Seems the scammers have invested some of their "hard earned $" in counter measures, meaning DDOS, 24/7. I find it interesting that no one that can really help them, is.
The lowlife 'scum' behind these malious DDOS attacks have proven nothing because the people who used fraudwatcher.org will just move to other forum sites to warn people of the dangers on the internet.

If more anti-scammers continue to hammer internet accounts in Nigeria, the more the counter measures will continue to happen. It's just to much fun baiting these dirt-bags and having them call me from Nigeria.

  Hello all

It seems that the lowlife 'scum' on the internet have launched a continuous DDOS attack against fraudwatcher.org, taken it offline from what I heard, permanently.

I spent a lot of time on that site posting information about 419 scams and it's sad that I can no longer help people learn about these scams.

Has anyone heard anything about this site returning in the future?
