Network connectivity problems June 15 (resolved)

Posted June 15th, 2012 in System Status. Tags: , .

Between 5:10 and 5:22 A.M. Pacific time this morning (June 15), one of our upstream network providers experienced a large distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) targeted at one of their other customers, overwhelming their core network routers. This resulted in many people being unable to connect to our network during this period.

The problem has been resolved (the provider has blocked the attack), and they tell us it should not recur. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this caused.

    Right, this problem affected our entire network, so it caused problems for all sites we host. Again, we’re very sorry for the trouble.
