No one dropped me an email so didn't find out 'til this evening. Checked in with our hosting company to find out that there was a massive "brute force" attack against their server network. Funny thing, this site is up now but the site that tells about what's going on with them is down. Public caning of such miscreants is something that we should demand from our legislators. Makes a lot more sense than an internet sales tax.

By the way, an email sent to my username AT gmail.com will reach me. Please only use such for important stuff. I normally don't make it public, but you guys are 'family'.

Some of our customer may be having some connectivity issues at the moment. This includes web and mysql services, but no mail services are affected. We are investigating the root cause and are working towards resolving it. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience this is causing and rest assured that we will post updates whenever more information becomes available.

Update May 13th 6:35pm PDT: Our Systems Engineering team continues to roll out the security updates. So far so good, please stay tuned for more updates.

Update May 13th 5:51pm PDT: We have adjusted our security rules on incoming web connections to help mitigate WordPress attacks. These security updates are currently being rolled out across all servers and we’ll be monitoring the servers as the updates happen.

Update May 13th 5:22pm PDT: We are continuing to explore and implement a multi-faceted approach to the attacks we are receiving. Progress is happening and early results are very good. We’ll provide another update shortly.

The above is the original post on the problem followed with the most recent updates. Seems to be working OK now.

Jeremy, I realize you recommended "Hot Dwarf Mud Wrestling" while leverguns was down, but, that was a little too riské for my tender sensibilities.....To each his own

I'll pray for you....
