    Me too. Saw it. Apparently, most of the website hosted in 202.190.x.x range (from Jaring) is not available yesterday.

    Even, accessing to http://www.mynic.net.my is down too. I wonder what happen to Jaring IDC. DoS attack? Or DNS poison?

    I am quite unsure as on whether it was really hacked … maybe server failure ? or a publicity stunt :-)

    Hello “K4Z Suck”

    If you have any complaints or suggestions, surely it is better for you to use our forum, contact center or support line to get some feedback on our work. Rather than scout out a blog and post some defamation against us, we are renowned advertisers and long term supporters of this blog, I am sure HK Lim will verify and support my post that we are long term advertisers and sponsors of this blog. Send your hate else where.

    I wouldn’t use the term low class indian. Im no indian my self but its not really his fault, its his web hosters fault. If you don’t like Lowyat, don’t go there. I have also got banned a few time but i’ll just forget it. The Main Admin is not in the forum much, the mods and the other two admins are the ones that play around with members.

    I’m skeptical about K4Z’s post – it definitely seems to me that he’s definitely the one to blame, what with his torrent hosting and warez and links to gambling sites.
