    If anyone has tried the Deal extreme website recently you may have noticed the site is down.

    Why I dont know.

    But if you have Firefox just enter this address.

    [url]HTTPS://www.dealextreme.com[/url]

    And everything works again!

    Dosent work in Explorer, it trys to change HTTPS to HTTP

    But if you click on the link above it takes you there on explorer!

    Hope this helps anyone who was looking for the site!

    Are you all using firefox?

    Simply add a S onto the HTTP

    i.e HTTPS://

    Using firefox keeps my s there, and should it disapear when loading another page I simply put the s in and refresh.

    Works Perfect.

    Ordered some stuff today.

    Explorer keeps trying to reset to HTTP.


    Also the reason they are down is because of a cyber attack!
    Dear Valued Customers,

    As you may have all noticed that there are constant site offline in the past few days. This is because DX's website was under DDOS attack from Monday and even till now the attack is still going on.

    However, our technical team have been working full time on this issue. We have managed to lock down the possible sources of this attack and taken whatever measures that are necessary to fight against this malicious attack. Although the attack is continuing, the website now has turned back to a state that most of the functions are working correctly. There are still some minor issues while visiting but in general the site is secure and especially the orders can be made without problems. The processing of your orders and CSE tickets are not affected.

    DX always values each of its customers as the most important resource. The attack is an open defiance against all the customers' interest. Therefore this behavior must be seriously condemned. Our technical team will continue to fight against this attack and try every possible means to overcome this difficulty. Your understanding is highly appreciated.

    Best regards,
    DX team

    Notice the HTTPS!

    Was using work. They're a large multinational firm, and they are their own ISP, it seems... :eek:

    At home now, using Eircom. using https instead of http allows me to browse, though.
