On 15 August All is Brawl came under a sustained [[Wikipedia:Denial-of-service_attack|distributed denial-of-service attack]] (DDoS attack). Other sections from the "All is" network were affected as well. The following day, Smashboards suffered an intrusive attack that led to a reset that lost the forum roughly 10 hours of data. On 25 August Smashboards went down, initially reporting that it was experiencing server issues{{ref|DDoS1}} and later confirmed that the site was also under a sustained DDoS attack{{ref|DDoS2}}. It is unknown if the Smashboards intrusion on 15 August is related to its DDoS attack on 25 August. On 27 August the [[Project M]] website became the third site to go down as a result of a DDoS attack. | On 15 August All is Brawl came under a sustained [[Wikipedia:Denial-of-service_attack|distributed denial-of-service attack]] (DDoS attack).
