But the question is why also Kaspersky forums seem to be inaccessible for me? Have been most part of today, pages hardly load at all.
I don't want to spread FUD, just curious if there's larger DDoS or such in progress? I do realize the reason can be completely innocent and unrelated to IBR situation.
This server is under a DOS attack. Specifically, they are targeting the IP 207.58.151.145 on port 80 (webserver). Over 10000 SYN_RECV connections existed in a netstat when I originally logged in. I was able to mitigate much of this by installing the CSF firewall and setting the SYN flood rate to 40/sec. That said, the load is still high and I am not comfortable lowering the SYN rate any lower, as it might block legitimate traffic. This is a distributed attack, occurring from hundreds of different (potentially spoofed) IP addresses. Typically these attacks do not last for a long time, but it might be a few days before it dies off. (inboxrevenge.com)
Per an IBR blog posting IBR is still under a DDos attack at times but if you have been unable to connect it may be due to your IP address being blocked and to respond to an earlier status email that you should have received so that the block can be removed. I never received an IBR email.
If someone has Ikillspammers or AlphaC email address could they PM me. If you need I can PM you my IBR or SA sign on and my email address.

Clicked on that link and got the same message you got, except it was "Referred from: http://www.mywot.com/en/comment/reply/4715/22390" (which is this very thread of course). My ISP is Frontier, and I doubt they have blocked that IP.
If your friend has enough computers under his control to conduct a DDoS -- a distributed denial of service attack, i.e., an attack taken by many computers on a single target -- he's involved in a lot more illegal activity than just a prank to annoy the school administration. The computers used to do these are infected with Trojan Horse programs which allow the attacker to control them without the owners' knowledge or permission. He could go to jail, or his parents could even end up owing hundreds of thousands of dollars to compensate all the people whose computers he has damaged.
I stumbled across this while doing searches for who would be attacking our IP. :)
The attack is still ongoing (entering day eight,) and consists of a 12 - 13 minute ping request per client. (So far: at least several hundreds of clients are involved in the attack.)
As such we're mitigating and attempting to log and then block as many IP's as are participating in this criminal act.
Law enforcement and other agencies have been notified, and this attack may be related to at least two others that we know to be currently underway.
If we assume (as I do) that this attack is being executed via botnet, this would likely have cost the perpetrators several thousand dollars so far. I can only speak for myself but this was definitely not money well spent, as it is doing nothing to stop our research or communications.
It would be nice it you'd post the IP's once you get a list compiled...
