Looks like our hosting provider is being DDOS'ed. Might take a day for them to recover. Access to the forum will likely be spotty.
And we've not been in Canada for a bit now.

I've been connecting from my phone the last few days it seems fine
Just came up for me;was out all morning. Damn Russians.
Same here. Out since last night. Just got back literally right now.
"DDOS'ed"?
Please enlighten me. Thanks.
Someone was demanding ransom from HostUS, holding it hostage with the DDOS starting last night.

I know this is just a poor attempt at being cute, but when you get a DDOS of 300gbps that takes down a tier 1 POP provider there ain't shit you can do about it except ride it out.
Damn Canadians!
So it's like a case of the claps? In layman's terms.Quote:

Everything I've seen indicates a private owner out of Motherwell,UK (Scotland).Quote:

I any case, for the folks that are actually interested:
HostUS came under sustained attack across all owned IP's in a couple of their US data centers. While they do have DDOS mitigation in place, it's the kind of protection that only works when it's just one or a small subset of systems that are attacked.
To understand the scope of the attack, most home internet services rate between 10mbps and 20mbps (that's megabits per second, or some factor of 10,000,000 to 20,000,000 bytes per second). Whatever businesses y'all have internet at, it likely doesn't go beyond 1gbps (gigabits per second), and that isn't really commonplace unless you have a publicly accessible data center at your office. That should help you understand the scale when I say that their 300gpbs internet connection was saturated with traffic. When I stated earlier that it took down a tier 1 pop provider, what that meant was that it brought down a major east coast connection between two networks that make up part of the backbone of the internet we enjoy here in the states.
So you're saying that ISIS kidnapped all our jigalobytes, got it.
It IS some terroristic bullshit.
Usually DDOS are targeting something, what was the target, any idea?

If it were just that simple. A DDOS of this magnitude usually involves a botnet of several hundred to a couple thousand infected residential and business computers, sometimes within a country, sometimes internationally. Depends on the botnet.
Stuff like this has no simple answer. Even a firewall doesn't help. Your outbound traffic might be damn near zero but if your incoming traffic is flooded, the legitimate traffic comes in at less than a trickle.
I feel for the businesses,many of them small,that can be severely harmed by these criminals.
