23:30 Again, our apologies
We continue to undertake remedial work to mitigate this ongoing attack.
We will update here as usual.
————
We are currently seeing a new, large-scale DDoS attack against our IP range. We are working to mitigate this but some services are being affected, with packet loss, routing failures or intermittent outages. Some email delivery will be queued until this is resolved.
We will update here as usual.
13:06 UPDATE
We are mitigating a large portion of this attack traffic but currently, the transit links remain saturated which is causing the current ongoing problems. We continue to work to resolve this as quickly as possible & apologise for the ongoing inconvenience caused.
13:44 UPDATE
We are seeing most services recovering. The attack target remains offline but we believe that this incident is now contained. We apologise again for this interruption in service. If you are still seeing issues, please restart your equipment. Tickets can be raised now in the normal manner & the support line remains ready to assist.
17:43 UPDATE
The offsite server that hosts the status NOC site went down during the afternoon. Purely coincidental, but it meant we weren’t able to access it to add more frequent updates. It’s now back and we’ll update the status on the DDoS attack issues shortly. Our apologies that this wasn’t available when it was needed the most.
