Title: server under attack
Post by: Borek on March 04, 2013, 11:05:56 AM

Have you seen forums lagging in the last days?

We were attacked by some script kiddie (probably from Sunnyvalle, CA). As far as I can tell attack was not dangerous, but it was eating processor time. Most likely it started around Feb 28^th.

What sort of attack was it? I didn't notice a lag.
