Our sites appeared down this morning, and some of you may have noticed sever lag last night. I contacted out admin and got the below reply:
A Denial of Services attack basically drowns a network in crap, preventing legitimate use from going on.
Hopefully, we don't get his again.

Hi Bob,
we had a DOS attack last night that affected the whole network. None of the servers went down (you can check that with the command 'uptime'). They just weren't accessible due to the network being flooded.
