FFHolic server under DDoS attack
As you may have noticed that FFHolic.com has been down for the last couple of days. Another site hosted on the same server is under heavy DDoS (distributed denial-of-service, 400Mbps right now) attack and that is crippling the network equipment.
It seems like a SYN attack with spoofed IP addresses, so it’s hard to identify the source and distinguish good packets from bad ones.
We are trying to solve the issue through our ISP and main service provider.
We’ll be back as soon as the issue can be resolved.
Unfortunately, we don’t have the redundancy that we wish to have right now, so moving on to another server is not an option at this time. We hope to have that soon too.

Baris,
WE have a DDos mitigation product that can alleviate the attack on FFHOLIC.com.
We have been trying to get in touch with Paul Emmons at the noc AT http://WWW.IOSAZ.NET
