Is anyone else having trouble accessing escrow.com? I'm in the middle of two transactions (of which both domains have already been pushed) and poof! It's been a good 14 hours.

Code:

Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)

Yep it is down. Good luck.

Thanks akael. A quick search on the usual forums turned up nothing so I thought it may have just been me.

Looks like they are over :P (kidding). But really a bad sign of business.

A big site never goes down like this.

Whoever manages their IT department should be fired. It has been 7 hours since Murdock's first message. So the site is down now for at least 21 hours.

I'm guessing they have some major problem, like their entire data being stolen by hackers and somehow they can not stop hackers accessing their database.

Something like this happened to namepros once. There was a hacker who could still access all the files even after they tried using an older backup version.

1. At least we know they didn't piss off Anonymous. Because by now we'd all be reading each others' registration info.

2. Does anyone use software like Fail2Ban? I cannot be the only person to ever install automated blacklisting.

Our site can be accessed at https://www.escrow.com
This attack has slowed down the access to our site; it has not compromised any customer or company information.
We continue to make adjustments.
