We were under a SYN flood DDoS attack today
In layman terms this means someone with access to multiple (hundreds to thousands) hacked computers is starting lots of bogus connections to our server, filling up a sort of connection queue and making it ignore legitimate connections
We're going to take measures against the attack, in trying to protect ourselves and notifying the hacked computers administrators about this
However, this kind of attack is hard to stop (in fact it's not possible to stop completely, only mitigate it's impact and the resulting damage) and these botnet computers are difficult to trace
So the server will be down for an unknown amount of time, we'll be working on this issue to have it back up as soon as possible
In case you want to know, the attacker is asking for max stats and SP, awesome huh?
I thought he would be asking for $100k sent to his swiss bank account, but nah, max stats.
