DDoS attack on fry server (resolved)

Posted June 14th, 2011 in System Status. Tags: .

The “fry” server was the victim of a high-bandwidth Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack beginning at 3:11 AM Pacific time this morning. On that server, Web pages were intermittently slow to load or generated timeout errors. (Other servers were not affected.)

We’ve blocked the large number of IP addresses from the “botnet” attacking the server, and the issue was completely resolved by 4:19 AM Pacific time. Please accept our apologies if you noticed any problems with your site loading slowly during this period.
