AdultEUHost Allegations Response - AlphaRed

AdultEUHost Drama Response:


The AdultEUHost network was automatically blocked on Thursday of last week by our routers when they detected an extended attack from multiple sources within the ASN, and port sniffing of our network.
We did notice this block, and due to the intentsity and specific nature of the port sniffing and packet attack, we hadn't unblocked them.

"AdultEUHost Leon"'s posts have only further strengthed our resolve to maintain the block of AdultEUHost's network and ASN.

His allegations are completely unfounded - the network AdultEUHost resides on was initially blocked for attacking servers on our network, and causing them to crash, then contacting those clients and offering them "better" deal's on their network with the promise that they wouldn't "crash". The consequences of those actions are now being felt by their customers.

We would never block a network that was passing legitmate traffic to our network regardless if they were competitors or not. We have not blocked any of our other competitor's, and that should speak massively to our credibility.

Our network security/IDS system automatically blocked the network based on a pre-set base of rules that allows us to maintain a stable, and relatively attack free network to protect our customers from these sort's of internet "nuisances".


We feel sympathy for those hosted on the AdultEUHost network, and wish this wouldn't have happened, but at this time we have no intentions of unblocking the ASN.

Further more, we believe AdultEUHosts' intentions are very suspicious, initially with the attack, and now with these posts.


If Leon wishes to speak with us, he can send us an email via an email address not hosted on the adulteuhost network, and we shall look it over.

If there are any of OUR customers that are affected by this, you may contact me directly and we will fix it for your specific server/s.
