One final follow up on the DDoS attack that impacted Sedo parking clients  a couple of weeks ago. Sedo promised to make clients whole for any losses sustained as a result of the DDoS attack, and the company has made good on that promise.

In an email sent to clients this morning, Sedo informed them that “compensation for affected customers has taken place today.” The company has updated statistics in customer accounts to reflect the revenue that was earned during this time. In addition, “the total compensation amount will be added to the March “Corrector”* and can be consulted in the “Payments” tab of the “Parking Reporting” section.”

Full email from Sedo is below

Last week, I let you know about an email Sedo sent to its parking customersletting them know the company would make them whole after some issues arose following a DDoS attack on its servers. Yesterday afternoon, Sedo followed up on this email to let clients know that “Sedo’s parking platform has reverted to optimal performance.”

The company is going reviewing its data to make sure customers who are showing less revenue are compensated fully for the losses that were incurred. I think it’s a good faith effort to make sure clients don’t lose money through no fault of their own. It’s wise that the company made these moves before any type of public outcry.

Full announcement is below.

Last Friday, Sedo informed its parking customers about a malicious Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack the company was facing, which impacted its parked domain names. Apparently, Sedo techs were able to alleviate most of the affects of the attack within a few hours.

This morning, the company provided an update to SedoPro customers informing them that the company has “not been monetizing optimally since that day.” In light of this, the company wants to inform customers that they aren’t going to lose money as a result of this attack and stated, “we will be compensating you for the parking decrease, should you be affected by it.” Details about how this will be done have not been released yet.

I don’t park domain names with Sedo, so I am not exactly sure how much of an impact the DDoS has had on parking, but hopefully the company will make everyone whole. More information about this will be provided when I hear more.
