This server is currently experiencing a 2.5 gigabit inbound attack. Unfortunately, as you may know, it is currently rendering the server unusable at this point. Right now we have no ETA as to when the attack will stop- we will, however, keep you updated via this forum post. As soon as the malicious traffic drops to a manageable level, we will let you guys know. I apologize for any inconvenience. Thanks.

Yes, fortunately the attack has dropped to below 1 gigabit (to about 735M) at this time. We are able to apply the Cisco guard to manage the malicious traffic, and we will continue to monitor this box as the situation progresses. Thanks for your patience.

Good to see it is being sorted out. Hope it all resumes as normal soon.
