Attacks against the Elxis server

[datahell]

We have some problems lately due to many attacks against the Elxis server. There were 1-2 times that Elxis server went offline for a while during the last week, sorry for that. We do our best to deal with these attacks.

Are those DDOS attacks?

No, as far as I know.
I turned Elxis server offline 2 times:
1st (for about 4 hours). After a successful attack on an osCommerce powered web site hosted on the server. This attack affected some other stuff on the server. I restored a backup and removed the osCommerce powered site from the server as it was full of security holes.
2nd (for about 1 hour). Preventively during a DFind scan.
