Re: Fraudwatcher.org , down for the count ?

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.
