The GMP servers are under attack by several hundred IP addresses owned by Microsoft cooperation. We do not know if this is made with malice by Microsoft, if it is some sort of mistake, or if some of their cloud customer is running the attack. The attack targets the GMP repo, with thousands of identical requests. The requests are cleverly chosen as to cause heavy system load.
We're firewalling off all of Microsoft's IP addresses as an emergency response. The GMP repositories are intermittently slow to access, but we expect to resume normal operation once we have identified all Microsoft's IP ranges. If some Microsoft employee with enough clout reads this, please notice that we *completely* block Microsoft now as that is the fastest remedy. That means that email will likely not reach us. -- Torbjörn Please encrypt, key id 0xC8601622 _______________________________________________ gmp-devel mailing list gmp-devel@gmplib.org https://gmplib.org/mailman/listinfo/gmp-devel
