I would like to make it clear this has nothing to do with any of our servers or hardware, which is running perfectly. Unfortunately, that info still doesn't help us or you

They are now putting new switches in place to hopefully stop the attacks once and for all. Our own sysadmin is there working with the Datacentre's team to get this done.

We would like to sincerely apologize and we want you to know ALL affiliates will be compensated fully for ALL DOWNTIME, as usual.

We have redundancy for all equipment we own, but unfortunately (like pretty much all companies here), we don't have a full replica of our network on other datacentres around the world that we can switch to. This IS something we've been looking into though, and now it seems it will definately be something we have to do - to any of you out there, I suggest doing the same.

Most of us, including Michael, Rosalia, Sam, myself and our Montreal team are watching this all day long. As soon as it's fixed for good I will let you know.

Thanks
Thanks for the update Keith.
