Slashdot banned Fasttelco
ISPs in Kuwait usualy ban websites, but today it was the opposite thing that happened!
Starting from today (and I don’t know when will it end) If you’re a fasttelco subscriber when you try to access Slashdot.org you’ll get a weired error page saying “Either your network or ip address has been banned from Slashdot”. Of course at the begining I thought that for some reason only my IP has been banned but when I called Fasttelco’s support and told them to check the website they got the same message. It turns out that the ip they banned is the ip of the gateway and all the subscribers will not be able to access it. The technical support guy promised that they will contact them and it might be solved by “tomorrow” .
Now what could possibly be the reason for that ban ?!
Do you think that there’s someone in Kuwait performing a DoS attack on slashdot ?
or is there someone who’s trying to crawl their website using a crude robot?
