Tonight we have seen another concerted DDoS attempt with over 6 Gigabit of traffic periodically destined for specific hosts on our network.
We have worked to minimise the impact of these attacks and where appropriate installed blackhole routes and/or re-routed traffic to less congested ports.
As a result some website access may have been slow between 21:30 and 22:30 this evening, and certain customers may have found brief moments when their connections seemed to stall.
We are continuing to monitor the situation actively and are working to minimise the impact these DDoS attacks are having to the wider customer base.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused during the emergency maintenance tonight whilst filters were added and some traffic was re-routed
