It started out as a DDos attack, but then stopped. All of the DIYgokart members trying to load the page over and over and over and over ate up all the bandwidth and was worse than the denial of service attack. (J/K)

That makes my neighbor wrong he has been working on computers for years builds them and much more .He said phones and macs are closed systems and do not tend to get viruses (i dont think hes wrong just that equipment has advanced so much that people have made viruses for everything). Idid research on it and there are actually viruses for windows that phones can get but there not actual viruses that affect your phone it affects the computer.When you link your phone to your computer so tech they can harbor them.
Sorry my post was not meant to be cocky .
No problem. There are a lot of phone viruses going around nowadays, for both android and windows.

The reason that there are more viruses for Windows than Mac, Linux, or Android is money. There are far more Windows systems in use than any other, and banking and commerce is not yet prevalent on phone systems. (Yes, there are banking apps, but it's small potatoes compared to the money flowing through Windows systems)
Any site that does financial transactions is vulnerable to bots that look for such things.
Just FYI, this was not a virus. A DDoS means that they are trying to access the site rapidly looking for security holes. It can end up temporarily taking down many servers (meaning a ton of sites) therefore the company just pulled it offline rather than risk it.

I wonder what there server system is i have heard of servers being really big to the point it actually ends up crashing the person trying to access it .
