Ubi Webpage gone?

[kverdon]

Any able to get to ubisoft's page. Thought I'd check out the addon but am getting:

"We can't find www.ubi.com (http://www.ubi.com)"

Someone torpedo their website?

I was getting a "System Error" page earlier, with a URL that implied some kind of security ID had not been accepted.

I tried to download the 1.4 patch from SH III about 6 hours ago (I think)
at that time they had a server error (or something like that)

OMG ;)

I pinged their IP address (http://www.fifi.org/services/ping?packetcount=1&packetwait=1&formatted=yes&hostname=216.98.48.35) (found via NetCraft (http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?mode_u=on&mode_w=on&site=www.ubi.com)) and their system is still there, just not resolving via a reverse DNS (http://remote.12dt.com/) check (put Ubi's IP into 12dt's search slot).

DNS takes the ubi.com and converts it a numerical string with periods. Here's the Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name_system) on how it works.

Maybe they took the DNS down to perform meintenance, which is why the server is still on...

DNS is not a Ubi computer system, but part of the "backbone" of how the 'net works. If DNS were down, no website anywhere would be accessible -- including this one.

It's possible Ubi is in the process of changing IP addy's. Sometimes that takes several hours before the DNS servers match up the numbers.

[Raptor1]

I meant, they temporarily disabled their URL to perform maintenance, so the website won't be accessible...

It's also possible that they are changing the IP of their server

I deny all involvement...:()1: :ahoy: :lurk: :lost: :arrgh!:

[Raptor1]

Since Ubi is running pretty much all the subs around here, a large force of battleships must've slipped through and bombed the hell out of the website

I suspect an EA sneak attack!

Hmmm... that would cause the outage too. (Forgot 'bout that :damn: )

[DasLeakin]

Probably a CTD...LOL:rotfl:

Here's the oddball URL (read it):

http://ubbx.ubi.com/OCServer_US.aspx?ACTION=ERROR&ERROR_MSG=Security+Token+Refused+by+OneCommunity+S erver%3A+%27Y%27

[Raptor1]

Their website is back on, BTW
