Quoted from mdrussell

At approximately 10.10am EST we started noticing packet loss and latency to all of our DNS servers. These are geo-graphically diverse and located in 3 different states within North America.
Our entire team was alerted to the issue and working closely with our network vendors, we identified a large scale DDoS attack ( up to 113,000 pps ) against our 3 DNS servers.
Obviously this is a very targeted attack by someone hell-bent on taking our DNS services down. This resulted in connectivity issues for all customers who use our DNS system as well as our own website.
At this point in time, the attacks are mostly filter. We expect services to return to normal shortly.


Two of my sites are down and have been down for around 3 hours now
