Denial of service attacks - 2006-10-08

I guess it was inevitable that these start happening too. Today there was about 20 minutes of time when the servers were unreachable or barely reachable. 2 days ago there was 10 minutes of hard time for the servers. Both of these were because of denial of service attacks, which the datacenter (that's the place where the servers are) were able to mitigate.

The word we got is that problem should be taken care of, for now, and for the future as well. We will let you know if their fix is working well. I know that they should have enough hardware and people to combat this.
