Anyone having problems with Taxfiler

Anyone having problems with Taxfiler

Didn't find your answer?

I am currently unable to connect to the Taxfiler website, my email to Support bounced back and my phone calls (to Sales and Paresh Patel's mobile number) have gone unanswered. Is anyone else having problems or has anyone heard anything?

Sorry folks. It looks like one of our data centres has come under a DDOS attack. We are re-routing around the problem and hope to be back very shortly.

Working OK for me.

EDIT - try entering go.taxfiler.co.uk rather than taxfiler.co.uk (bypass the main page).

Taxfiler working now

I had tried every which way, bookmarked or not, every browser and every device - so intrigued that go.taxfiler.co.uk worked for Tim when it didn't for me.

 

Searched DDOS on Google - and found it seemed to be a mass targeted hit aimed to overload a site until it crashes - I assumed like artificially creating the deluge impact of the first day of John Lewis sales??

DDOS attacks can happen to anyone, and can often happen to backend ISPs (i.e. the ones that your provider uses to route your information through - and these aren't the same for everyone).

Often your inability to access websites or services may not be anything to do with those specific services or websites, but a problem somewhere en-route. 

Basically someone somewhere decided to use a botnet (a network of hijacked computers) to attack a section of the internet yesterday, causing routing problems for lots of people as various sections of the network were overwhelmed.  I believe Taxfiler wasn't the only company or person affected.
