That’s harsh, been fighting non stop since I was made aware of it

DD has Arbor. Have they brought that online on your IPs or path IPs???

Thought an attack that small would have been easily mitigated by their Arbor setup.

Can’t be, Jeff just delivered a bunch of 25Gbps DAC cables for our new Milan based VPS servers

I'm surprised you could find stock in this day and age.

Is 1-Grid angry that you stealing all their clients?


What are your theories around this attack?

 

[Jade @ Absolute Hosting]

@Rickster Im not aware of any 1-grid clients moving over to us so not too sure.

The attack is most definitely targeted based on the evidence that we have gathered over the last week and we're still actively engaging in our investigation.

can anyone explain in simple terms how the ddos attack actually works .

can anyone explain in simple terms how the ddos attack actually works .

Lots and lots of devices out in the internet that have some kind of nasty malware on them. They regularly check in to a control system.
The control system tells them to attack a certain IP or range
They then use various techniques to send as much traffic as they can generate towards the targeted system.
Targeted networks are completely overwhelmed.

@Jade @ Absolute Hosting, how long do you think we can expect this to go on for. Bleh, i am already feeling drained with staring at my PBX server saying HELLO, GOODBYE, HELLO, GOODBYE.

Anyway, hope this gets sorted at soonest, i think the problem spike up lastnight already.
