The DDOS attack continues and is affecting our load balancer server. We are working on migrating our load balancer to mitigate the attack.

We are integrating Cloudflare to help mitgate the DDOS. Service will return once it is ready and we migrate our load balancer.

Cloudflare has been setup, but our load balancer server is still under attack. We are now in the process of migrating this server.

To give our community an idea of what we are dealing with, we have received a letter from DD4BC before the attack: bit.ly/1qBpaA9

We were unwilling to give into the extortion demands and the attack commenced. We are working hard to bring the platform back online.

We are taking our time so when we return online we will be ready to better defend against the DDOS attack. Thank you for your patience.

The DDOS commences, we aware of the timeouts and we are working to the defend the remaining surface used to attack and the disable the site.

Attacks have started again, this time it is no longer completely disabling access to our site. We are hard at work to ensure it stays stable

We have been able to bring the site online for short periods of time but our IP addresses are immediately bombarded with UDP traffic.

We are trying to determine how our addresses are being determined by the attacker. We are still working on ways to prevent this attack.

I apologize for the lack of updates, we are working with our datacenter to find a solution. We will be back up and running soon.
