We've seen a significant slowdown on several services in the last few minutes, this is affecting email and web for some sites. Update 15:30 The cause of this is a denial of service attack on some systems, we have a 30x increase in network connections at the moment. We are implementing some countermeasures to divert unwanted traffic but we expect disruption to service to continue for another while. Update 17:30 Most of the traffic has been diverted at this stage, we expect most services to be back to normal within the next hour or two. Update 21:30 We were able to restore services earlier, but there are some continuing issues which will take another hour or two to sort out Update 22:55 All services should be back to normal now. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by this disruption. | |
