NETELLER down after DDos attack
As NETELLER announced through its Twitter channel two days ago, the website and payment gateways were under a DDos (Denial-of-service) attack. The website service was attacked through mass external communication requests, causing unavailability of the website and its connected services.
The NETELLER MasterCard system was also affected. Cash withdrawals at the ATMs with the NETELLER Net+ Card was therefor not available.
#NETELLER is subject to DoS a cyber-attack. We are working hard to resolve this. Our website is affected, and the payment processing system.

The problems continued yesterday and we hope the sites will be accessible next days over the Easter Holidays without any ongoing issues.
As of now, the systems and the website are back up and running.
