Lucky they seem to have salvaged most of the information, Piss poor service from their hosting company throwing them out , it's not Puppy's fault it was attacked.
Good news for Puppy usershttps://forum.puppylinux.com is back on line

A good hosting company works with the customer and the NOC when there's a DDOS - and also mitigates attacks so that other sites aren't affected. That's a darned shame. I wonder how much space and bandwidth they need for the forum itself?
Also, why would anyone care enough about Puppy to DDOS them? The price to DDOS has gone down, but it's still pretty expensive - especially to sustain it. Unless you have your own botnet, it's a pretty costly affair. People don't just give you access to their botnet for free or 'cause they like you. Well, not anymore... These days, it's all a for-profit venture.
