UPDATE:

We have finally managed to take the attack under control. Due to some changes we had to make to traffic management some subdomains didn't work, including those that serve licences verification, download, etc. We're fixing it all now.

Some of you may have been unable to login to your admin panel, since BoonEx data couldn't load. This problem occurred before due to BoonEx News RSS and license verification. We removed this dependancy some time ago, so Admin panels do not depend on RSS see more feed or license check. Unfortunately we have overlooked version checking mechanism, which still depends on BoonEx.com. We are really sorry about that. Long time ago our intent was to free your admin panel completely, and this is a misfortunate mistake. We are fixing it in 7.0.2 and in your current installation you may use this workaround:

-------
set the following setting option to 0:
[8/06/10 9:27:16 AM] Alex Trofimov: Admin -> Settings -> Advances Settings -> Other -> Show boonex news in admin panel
-------

NOTE: version check and RSS feed in your admin panel are there for good reason. It is the way for us to notify you if there's something urgent, like a security update or a new version. This is not to spam you, but to inform you, and it can be turned off.
