I know some bros, myself included, have some money at stake here with evocash so I thought I would post up the default message on x-changers.com (company the deals exchanges money with evo). To me it almost sounds like you may be able to access the site at random times due to the nature of this "attack" to allocate funds elsewhere, but maybe that is just wishful thinking in the meantime.
Thank you for visiting X-Changers today. We are sorry to report that the Evocash website is currently experiencing an illegal DOS attack which is aimed at removing service from all Evocash clients. A DOS attack is a type of hacking during which a web server is flooded with large volumes of garbage material in an attempt to steal away internet resources from legitimate web site users attempting to visit the attacked web site.
The www.evocash.com website has NOT been removed or closed. Actually, the website is running normally without any problems or difficulty in any way. However, all of the available links for clients to access the website are being used by the hacker. This is why nearly all clients are unable to visit the website. It makes sense to simply open up additional lines of communication, but that does not work. In that case, the hacker simply sends more internet pollution which will quickly eat up all of the new bandwidth as the legitimate Evocash clients log off.
The temporary disruption in service is from an illegal attack which is being fixed through technical means in the short term and in conjunction with the appropriate law enforcement agencies in the long term. You will be able to visit the www.evocash.com website when Evocash has filtered out all of the extraneous internet pollution that is currently accessing the website. Presumably, this attack is related to recent actions concerning the unresolved legal status of a company which uses Evocash called Freeland Opps (FLO). The Evocash proposed resolution to this matter is very fair and reasonable. Instead of working with Evocash to resolve the matter, FLO has chosen to use questionable methods to resolve this matter, such as unproductive comments on forums and various message boards or the current illegal DOS attack (which may or may not be directly related to FLO). In fact just a few days ago on the TalkGold forum, it was suggested that someone should do a Ddos attack on the Evocash site with a post that followed saying this could be arranged. We feel that the nature of the comments issued by FLO and, of course the attack currently underway against Evocash, reflect extremely poorly on FLO and any merit they feel they have in their disagreement with Evocash, and most likely indicate that all actions performed by Evocash to date have been correct in our opinion.
It should be clearly stated that this is a form of terrorism. Unless the funds are illegally released, this attack will presumably not stop. Evocash has expressed their apologies to us about the extreme inconvenience this is causing all of their clients. However, they also state this is unavoidable as it is not possible to be swayed by this type of extortion. Allowing this type of extortion to succeed will result in a great deal of future client inconveniences. Instead, no accommodations will be made to those responsible for the temporary inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding of this matter. We appreciate your patience while Evocash is aggressively working on this problem to have their website up again soon.
