Good Evening The Bluesquare Data Centre in Maidenhead experienced a rather agressive DDOS attack within the past 30 minutes. It took staff 15 minutes to mitigate this attack. Within that time we believe all servers in the entire facility - and all our servers - experienced laggy performance. We are awaiting more information but at the moment there is still a slight lag as can be seen below. This ping was taken from our office where we usually get a 20ms response to Maidenhead - as you can see the ping rate is at an acceptable level but the slightly elevated rate still shows they are working to continue to mitigate this attack.
PING 109.73.167.181 (109.73.167.181): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 109.73.167.181: icmp_seq=0 ttl=54 time=209.069 ms 64 bytes from 109.73.167.181: icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=131.380 ms 64 bytes from 109.73.167.181: icmp_seq=2 ttl=54 time=141.132 ms
We will update this thread if there is any more news but as far as we are aware the attack has now been mitigated and all services are returning to normal.
