Talk Talk 'No Data Received' error
-
Just want to add my own experience – which is like everyone else’s. I’m not with TalkTalk; I’m not having trouble accessing any other website; I’m even able to post a complaint on this forum … but I can’t access my WP dashboard.
-
Rather than give us a general comment about ‘doing everything we can’ it would help our frustration levels if we could have a more detailed explanation about what WP believe the problem is and how they are trying to solve it. This would show us that WP are actually doing and give us an indication of how things might progress.
-
It’s time to draw a line in the sand here – maybe it will help WordPress who seem to have no clout with anyone, despite being the largest off-the-shelf CMS provider in the world!!
Unless this problem is solved very very quickly, I am going to bill WordPress for transferring my commercial sites to another provider and rebuilding them – as my clients are going frantic. This is likely to run into £ thousands.
I suggest everybody else having problems does the same.

!! If you are desperate !!
The problem seems to be that of routing. I cannot access via my usual broaband, but get full access using mobile broaband (an internet dongle) although it is slow.
On the basis of alternate routing, you might succeed using a library or internet cafe. A dongle is very last resort because of how slow they are and a tendency to drop the line sometimes (they have to compete with phone traffic. T Mobile seems to be the best, but it does despend on your area. Not just for signal strength but quantity of comms traffic. AND, there is no guarantee of an alternate routing.
I’m following this up. I do not yet now if it is relevent to the present problem, but WordPress and Jamoola have been under attack for months forming a massive botnet. You can look it up on Google.
All I can say is good luck.

From looking at these threads over recent days – I wasn’t here the last time it happened – it does seem like the “Helpers” aren’t organised in any way; so are maybe ‘in a cyber sense’ – just looking at each other going “well what do we do now, does anyone actually know anything technical?”
The fact that there’s been more response from “members” who seem to have been adopted as mods – and who just repeat the mantra of “It’s TalkTalk” shows that WP just isn’t set up to cope with problems.
The fact that there is no official announcement at all is a actually the loudest announcement they could make. -
This is what I found:
http://thehackernews.com/2013/09/thousands-of-wordpress-blogs.htmlDo you think this could be the problem?
-
Then the members who are so willing to help are entirely wrong: I thought I’d made that clear?: there are people in the US, people in the UK and people in Australia who are being affected by this techo problem: how can anyone say “it’s [X]!”?
Rubbish.
There’s nothing we as users can do; only WordPress can fix whatever attack is happening – or maybe I mean fix it afterwards. -
My problem clearly isn’t anything to do with my ISP. I’m not with Talk Talk, and my wife also has a WordPress blog and isn’t having any problems using the same ISP and connection. The problem is clearly with WordPress. I’m also not happy that there is absolutely no way of contacted WordPress other than through a forum. Anyway, if it doesn’t get sorted soon I’ll just stop using WordPress.
-
Just to add to the list. I live in the UK, I use TalkTalk and I am having the same problem as everyone else.
-
If I can just reiterate – I am NOT with Talk Talk and have exactly the same problem. BUT my wife isn’t having any problems with her WordPress page and she is using the same ISP and connection as me. This problem is at your end WordPress. I was communicating through a separate thread with EURELLO, but she has kindly marked the thread as ‘Topic Closed’ so I can’t reply through that thread.

This is the one that’s being quoted … -
I am on AOL/TalkTalk and am having the same problems that others are describing when trying to access my dashboard and any wordpress.com blogs using my laptop. My android tablet does not seem to be affected at all. Through the app I am able to access the dashboard and was able to write a post yesterday.
I don’t understand how one will work and not the other when they are both connected to the same wifi network. -

Thanks for that – it tells you all we need to know. shameful that WP couldn’t just admit it rather than trying to pass the buck and blame TalkTalk.
The last paragraph of the article is ominous, April’s attack was a check, getting ready for a more serious one – guess what? It looks like it’s here!
Maybe WP sat on their hands back then as much as they are now with their clients. -
Hi everyone, to add to the already enormous list…I am from the UK and I’m with TalkTalk.
I’m a journalist and use WordPress on a daily basis. This sham has been affecting my WordPress site since Monday and I’m completely unimpressed. So much so that I’m considering ditching WP and defecting to another blogging site. I would urge other people to consider doing the same as WP staff seem so disinterested in helping us. -
Why is WP not communicating with us. Just tell us something!! I have 7 wordpress blogs, and one of them I can access almost every time I try whereas the others I can hardly ever access.
I am researching how I can move these, as I have had enough,
-
There are clearly a lot of people effected by this, but can we please stop pretending that it’s got anything to do with Talk Talk. It Hasn’t. I’m NOT with Talk Talk and have exactly the same problem. The problem is with WP, and yes I will be defecting too!
-
In reference to the botnet. These have been attacks on self hosted sites. Although I suppose it is possible that it is now being put to use.
On thing that has come up is the rejection of a Secure Socket Layer certificate issued to WordPress by Godaddy. The serial number is
4E:C4:67:78:4B:9F:97I agree with everyone on one issue. The WordPress response is inadequate. There should be some news of progress by now.

Anyone who keeps on about TalkTalk is clearly not reading the whole thread, but being selective. Forget about those people.
Listen … this isn’t exactly what you could call WordPress’ fault: it’s not as if they have the means to deal with this and have chosen not to!
The only thing we can crap on them for is not keeping us in the loop; but then again, they probably couldn’t figure out how to do that without scaring the shit out of us all.
Anyway; now that we know so much more, we have to be grateful for not having fallen prey to far more serious stuff.
For the time being, I’ve moved to double security, and at least it means that once I’ve signed in I can stop having to do it over and over. One day, when this is all behind us, I’ll turn it off.
