Head Guru Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 We are currently experiencing a multi gigabyte Denial of Service attack against our infrastructure. It is being worked on by our entire networking staff and I will post more updates as they become available to me. Link to comment
Head Guru Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 This has turned into a very large DDoS attack. We are currently seeing 3.0+gbs from this attack. We are still working to clear this up. We have things partially restored now, we are waiting for one upstream carrier (XO) to put in a null route since our link to them is completely saturated with inbound traffic right now. Updates to follow soon. Link to comment
Head Guru Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 We are still working on this issue. Things are getting better slowly. I will update when there is more to update. Still waiting on XO to make the requested null routes for us. Link to comment
Head Guru Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 We have been stable since around 9:50PM EST I am still monitoring things and if anything else crops up I will post here. If you have any issues please do let us know. Link to comment
dustyduck Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'm guessing that this would explain the email outages and slow or non-responsive servers earlier. Glad that y'all were able to get it worked out so quickly --- appreciate all of your hard work... Link to comment

queenpictoria Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) We are currently experiencing a multi gigabyte Denial of Service attack against our infrastructure. It is being worked on by our entire networking staff and I will post more updates as they become available to me. Dear Sir, I have tried several times to submit a trouble ticket, and it gets kicked back saying there is an error and to try again. I am trying to report that my email is gone out of my "Inbox" at "xxxxx". There are only 6 new emails in the box that arrived overnight. Please let me know what is going on. Those emails were business communication, and were important. I imagine they are gone. Is that true? Thank you, queenpictoria Edited January 30, 2011 by TCH-Carl removed email account from display Link to comment

It is being worked on by our entire networking staff and I will post more updates as they become available to me. My reseller account along with all of my customer's websites are completely inaccessible. The outage began at around 4 pm EST. I have opened a ticket but have not yet received a response. Are we being hit with another DDoS? Some information about the problem would be appreciated. Link to comment
