Network problems, July 16th
Can you please tell us what happened this morning? Thankfully all now seems to be back again.

I would also like some indication of what went wrong.
The lady who took my call was very helpful, but was unable to indicate what was causing the outage. |

One of the customer base was the target of a concerted Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. This attack involved 17 countries and over 50 thousand hosts. Unfortunately with this many machines being involved it took us some time to correctly isolate and filter the traffic.

Thanks for the explanation, it sounds really nasty. In the circumstances, sorting it out in four hours must count as something of an achievement.
