Bug under work: 0 friends for everyone

Reported: Sun, Aug 31, 00h01


All glocals members now show 0 friends, instead of the real number of friends. We're working on fixing this asap. No worries, the data about your friends is not deleted.

The "friends list" will take a bit longer to restore, but we have some clarity on what caused the issue: 


1. Last night there was an attack on our servers by an automated Senegal based crawler. The crawler tried to access glocals 20,000 times in 30 seconds. Our system recognized something was wrong and shut down as a safety feature. All signs we have are that no private info was accessed by the crawler. 


2. After the system shut down last night, and as a further safety measure, we re-set all parameters. As part of this re-set, several files - including the one with the friends list - need some realigning. We are working on that now, and once done the friends list will be visible again.

3. As glocals grows, we might be targeted more often by IT attacks. We are beefing up our security for this. Already now our servers pare hosted in CH, by one of the industory's leaders who used the latest hardware and processes. 


Hope to have this concluded ASAP.

"All glocals members will now show the number of "real" friends".

Nir, sorry, I didnt finish my post,


If we add a member today , will it be lost?


And if so, would we assume/need to request the friend invite again?

if you can wait with adding new friends until we get this fixed, would be great. The current "friends" feature is being worked on right now, and could still be un-stable and hard to predict.

It looks like that people who have invited somebody during this periode have only the new frinds in the list.


People that did not invite new friends have the old ones back. :-)

Nir, Jumpman is right.  During the "closed" period, someone sent me an invite which was accepted.


He's now my only friend - and I don't even really like him all that much!


Haha!  Seriously - it hasn't worked for everyone.

Same here... I can not accept new friends.


(you can click on accept, BUT nothing changes, they are still on the list, and no new friends, Cry )


Good luck Nir and everyone else on sorting this out. 


Also, THANK YOU for everything.

Still have one issue for friend requests received during the black-out.


I waited for the list to come back to accept those request, but now when I accept those, the are added to my friend list, but the requests stays "Pending Requests" list. How to remove those from the pending list once they've been added to my friend list?

I dont know if this bug I see is related to fixes today, but all messages in my inbox (old and new) have the same (wrong user) associated with them. Thus I can't really know who is sending friend requests and personal messages.

cheers!

Okay - so now I have no "Friends updates" - I still have "friends" (I think!!) but the updates are blank and also the Forum's updates is semi-blank.


I hope you get the hacking-bastards who stuffed up the website for you (and us!) and sue them till the cows come home!


Well, maybe a bit BEFORE "the cows come home" - this being Switzerland and all - it could be a long wait!.


Thanks for all you're doing BTW to fix all these bugs - it's much appreciated by all of us Kiss

Are you planning on going public. This reminds me of the growing pains of services like Twitter... Movescount by Suunto is another example. ;-)

We faced another issue last night which led to the the Friends List going back to 0 again, and some members not being able to log in. These issues are now solved. 


Carolyn: did the Group members number go up to its original size?


Richard: we wish that was the reason for it...(-; It's less nice and less lucrative than going public, it's just code issues.

The Group thing seemed to have righted itself as the invite's now gone to over 400 people, instead of 4!  Thanks.
