edited February 2004 in Science & Tech
"Once one of the largest ten IRC networks, mIRC-X closed permanently in February, 2004, due to persistant distributed denial of service attacks against the network servers.:

[blockquote]"Over the past few days, we have been receiving a very large sustained ongoing DDoS attack against all of the servers on our IRC network. While we have made efforts to filter the attack, the person behind it has been very persistent and we have been forced to block all traffic to the servers at times to filter it. Unfortunately, the end result has been an unusable network and the loss of our secondary server."[/blockquote]
