P411

[macksback]

Am I the only one having trouble accessing p411? The website seems very slow or doesn't load at all.

Update:

We are dealing with a Denial of Service attack out of Asia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack

The short version (how I understood it) is that we are being hit over and over, by thousands of malware infected computers, which is overloading our servers and bringing the site down. We have people working to block the attacking ips, during which time the site needs to be completely offline. Once all of the ips have been blocked, we'll put the site back up.

Thank you for your patience, it's been a rough day for everyone.

Always,
Gina

The ddos attack we are experiencing is "massive", and the ISP has blocked all traffic to P411 until it is under control.

What is a ddos attack? It is when a site is targeted by a huge amount of computerized traffic, far more than a server can handle. The goal is to render a site useless.

I am working with numerous tech people to do resolve the problem, but it's looking like the site will be down at least until late this afternoon. All I can say is that we are working on it, and we're doing the best we can.

Thank you for all of your kind words of support.
