Latest News about GNI (Gold Nugget Invest)

Gold Nugget Invest website experienced a huge DDoS-attack a couple of days ago due to which the secured channel was not available for a while and the members had to access their accounts via HTTP. For me the accessibility to their secured version is still very intermittent and sometimes I can access it and sometimes not. There is no reason to worry though as accessing accounts via the non-secured site is also quite safe because of the PIN-code which will be sent to your email if your IP has changed between sessions.

Remember to always use gmail accounts in order to receive your PIN without any issues. There was another problem though probably caused by this attack. For some reasons many deposits were not credited to members’ accounts instantly and now they have to wait until the support staff check everything and add deposits manually.

Please note that everything is under control and your deposit will be credited sooner or later (you may submit a ticket via your member’s area as well). Remember also that GNI has several thousand members so please allow a few days in order for your missing deposits to be credited to your accounts. Here is the update about that published on the private GNI forum:
Hello folks, Just to let you know that we are doing our best posting your missing deposits. Kindly give us a couple of days to have them posted. Your patience and understanding are most appreciated.

I think there is no need to mention that all the withdrawals from GNI are being processed in time which is the most important thing. I just hope they will tight their security so such interruptions of their service are not possible in the near future.
