FURUM is a furry convention based in M World Hotel, Selangor, Malaysia Dec 11 to 13 2026 and last year they had 1600 in attendance.
But this year….
This is the message their own server was saying
It wasn’t a DDOS attacks it was just way too many furries
You might be asking are there that many furries in Malaysia?!!!
The answer is surprising since a lot of countries in that part of the globe. It is not surprising that many travel to different countries just to go to a fur con. Take the one in Taiwan, the 2nd biggest number comes from Singapore. 3rd is China itself. So hopping countries is not surprising
On their Telegram they posted this
#FURUM 2026 ticket sales experienced heavy traffic shortly after registration opened, with multiple attendees reporting access and payment issues across the convention website.
1⃣ Around 38 minutes after registration opened, attendees reported repeated crashes affecting the registration portal, profile pages and payment gateway systems. Some users said they were temporarily unable to access account information or complete ticket purchases. 
3⃣ Some affected attendees later attempted payment a second time, after which the system reportedly confirmed their ticket status successfully. 
4⃣ The situation created anxiety among some attendees, particularly those concerned over duplicate charges or uncertain ticket confirmation status. 
5⃣ Several attendees attributed the disruptions to a surge in user traffic shortly after ticket sales opened, which appeared to place heavy load on the registration and payment systems. 
Meanwhile their site has returned to normal. I for one will be keeping an eye out for their numbers this year.
