Names Compulsory on the 2016 Census

[Skydrol]

To me in the way it is described is too much too handle. Or, could be a DDOS Attack made by people that opposed the Census if you want to go that route.

My take is a lame site that could not handle the load. Perhaps was a group of obsolete servers witn a shity backbone and the rest of the money in their pockets.

Not a DDoS attack either.

This!

The ABS IT department calling it a hack (wrong) or a DDoS attack? LMAO!!!! No, it's the expected volume of traffic. Tens of millions of concurrent requests. I find it hilarious. :rofl:

So my suspicions are correct... the Gov Co/Tax Payers got ripped off. My good God, you guys are behaving like the States... (LOL)

Only we don't have the benefit of the 2nd Amendment unfortunately.

In many ways our countries act like blood brothers. Most of it is ok...some though, not so.

This latest debacle is our version of "Anything you can do, we can do better."

I read in last paragraph of the link below, we now have until September 23rd to submit the census, so might as well all wait till then and see if it crashes again.

lol no ****.

They are also saying that a DDoS attack is not an attack as "no data was obtained". The incompetence and handling of this is ASTOUNDING!

If it WAS a DDoS attack, then yes, that's an attack. The purpose is never to obtain anything.

However they say the volume started increasing as the evening drew nearer until it got so bad they shut it down at 7:30pm? Errrrrrrrrrr.............. NO ****! People were connecting to do the ####ing Census. Hahahahahahaha!
