In developing countries, if a magazine brings to light about any offensive actions to the view of public, they get their Office building shattered on the very next day. Atleast, in your case people have not gone to that extent.

Hey Muzartin don’t loose hope, You can have a fresh beginning. After this struggle your site is getting more popular as well as a status that your reviews are Unbiased.

I think the same could be possible if you gather enough monkey… ehrm Apple fanboys to attack a website.

Because mobile-review is the leading website in telephone reviews? That’s why it’s the most interesting target for agressors.

You have to admit that a lot of the Appel fanboy’s are just more fanatic.

PS: sorry for my bad english, it’s not my first language.

People should just use their brains instead of perpetuating by copy+paste the accusatory “Mobile-Review is down due to rabid Apple zealots” when the truth isn’t out yet? If they were so rabid, they’d have done the same to Apple’s competitiors, Microsoft, LG, Nokia, SE, Samsung etc? *rolls eyes*

Guilty till proven innocent, what age are we living in?

I think you don’t understand what dos attack is.
According to Mr.Murtazin himself: “Several tens of thousands of computers across the globe are supporting the attack – these are “infected” terminals, or, as they call it, bot-nets”

It certainly could not be done by bunch of unskilled “angry fanboys”, because it is not like something required ten monkeys sitting in front of ten computers hitting something in “command-line terminal” every 2 seconds (and it is good, because otherwise internet would be dead flooded by thousands of such attacks every day).

It is well known that it is much easier to “infect” Windows machine because of many known vulnarabilities and bugs in the Windows system, leavin along the fact that 9 of 10 desktop computers on Earth is PC. Please read any publication about dos attacks and see it yourself.

Anyway, my point was that Mr.Murtazin is blaming Apple fans without any sufficient proof (do you really think angry anonymous icq message is proving something?)

P.S. Actually, today Mr.Murtazin published statement where it says “we regard this incident as an attempt to impose censorship in the Internet” – this guy is really trying to make hero of himself!

This kind of attack doesn’t require much knowledge of Windows systems.

All you need is a bunch of angry fanboys with computers, an Internet connection and simple instructions from the head geek.

It can be done from the command line interface of most computers. Windows, Mac OS X and Linux has a command line interface capable of doing this.

Denial of Service (DOS) attacks are some of the simplest attacks there are. And when a bunch of angry fanboys do it, it’s a distributed attack.

What I’m saying could be wrong. Correct me if it is, someone.

Get a life….fkin fanboys!!

in the top post there is quote of Mr.Murtazin:

“P.S. Never think that Apple fans could be SO aggressive”

- sounds to me as he is blaming Apple fans after all.

the fact that some kid send ISQ with treats is not proving anything. whoever attacked Mr.Murtazin web site is skillful and techy person and any fanatics are just not fit into that category – especially if this kind of action requires very good knowledge of WINDOWS systems, not Mac

— from the site http://www.mobile-review.com (it was in russian) -
At the beginning of attack MR.com editor Eldar received an ICQ message which told, that problems with a site directly are connected with his position rather Apple iPhone. Is it distracting maneuver or the real reason of such scale attack, they do not know.

And they told this: “The huge request to all our readers to not fall to a level of vandals and to not label Apple products or their users. It is a trick of inadequate people which only proves, that our resource develops in a correct direction. Thanks, that all this time you wrote to us, sent SMS-messages, supported us in every possible way.”

They are not blaming Apple fans.

How come Mr.Murtazin know for sure that it is “rabid Apple zealots” how attacked his wonderful web site? Isn’t it logical to get proof first and only then to blame someone? To me it seems like attempt to use iPhone media hype to promote his own business, cheap trick for sure!

Apple fanboys are really irritating. They praise any product Steve Jobs announce, even though the product may not have that much of an improvement (iPod with brighter screen -_-”). They find Microsoft, Sony, Nokia, or any other company that is in a competition with Apple, supremely inferior. They bash these competing products and act as if they know the best.

My god, most Apple fanboys don’t know jack. They’re the most ignorant fools you can find on the internet. Also, they believe any product that comes out in pure white is a copy of Apple.

I want these Apple fanboys gotten rid of from the Internet… -_-”

Sorry to all those Apple fans who do not fit the above description, I did not mean to attack all Apple fans, just the type mentioned.
