AlertPay is down due to large scale DDOS attack
Lately some users of AlertPay payment processor failed to enter their accounts and the company’s site as a whole. The greatest troubles took place on Sunday. The same day Ferhan from AlertPay Customer Support service has put a small notice on the company’s forum explaining the situation:

NOTICE: SERVER OUTAGE DUE TO DDOS ATTACK -PLEASE USE ALTERNATE SITE: https://67.205.87.226 

We are currently expericing a large scale DDOS attack that has hit our sites which started at approximately 6:00am EST Sunday. We are working with our data center to resolve and/or mitigate this issue. 

More information will be posted here as we get updates.  

For the time being customers can connect to AlertPay at an alternate location:

Today the system has updated the news:
UPDATE: SERVER OUTAGE
We have finally mitigated the massive DDOS attack that started at 6:00am EST. Unfortunately it took almost all day to resolve. The site is operational now, and hopefully we'll continue to tweak it more tomorrow to ensure this doesn't happen again.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and we understand that this outage affects each of you personally. We’re sorry for that. We will continue to put measures in place so that outages like this do not occur again.  

Ferhan

At the moment the site is working is a usual mode however some users still fail to enter the site.
