After almost 5 years and approaching 1000 members at PokerChipper.com we have NEVER experienced any such activity at our site. I guess using modern tech has helped along with security vigilance. Again the safety of the members and the now membership requirements it would seem now require a more stable platform. When its free we can make excuses. When we charge we have to be the BEST we can be!

📊 Why this site is especially vulnerable

Based on everything:

Likely single origin server
No CDN buffering traffic
Probably limited bandwidth
Database-heavy (searchable archive)

👉 That combo is fragile under load

� Real-world attacker mindset

They don’t need to “hack” anything.

They just:

Find IP (easy here)
Send enough traffic to overwhelm:
CPU
connections
or bandwidth
� ️ Important nuance

This doesn’t mean:

The site is badly coded
Or insecure in a traditional sense

It means:

It lacks infrastructure-level protection

🎯 Bottom line
Current state:
🟢 Works fine under normal traffic
🔴 Easy to disrupt if targeted
Why:
Direct IP exposure
No traffic filtering layer
Likely limited network capacity
