Our operations staff has informed me that the attack ceased several minutes ago. Site performance should be returning to normal.

My guess is it's still ongoing. I'm seeing far more rejections per second, and the number of backed-off retries have also increased.

[twitter-dev] Re: Timeouts and API Errors, Tuesday August 11th
Yes, I've just been informed that the attack has resumed, and that our service provider is putting network hardware in place to counter the attack. We're trying to work with them to ensure minimal impact to the API, but in the near term there may be issues with OAuth and the Streaming API. This is a bit of a juggling act, as we're trying to coordinate our team, the operations team, our service provider's staff, and specialists that they've brought in for this issue.

Alex, Did not see this post and posted a new message. Still receiving lots of errors and no one can login on our site, tweetphoto.com, right now along with a handful of others (that I've tried myself). Just wanted to give you a heads up. Thanks!

We're aware of these issues; sorry. Our ops team tells me that the countermeasures that are being put in place should not cause the 302 redirect behavior that impacted OAuth and other services late last week. If you're seeing that behavior, please post here and we'll coordinate with them to eliminate it.

Just found out that our hosting provider put some hardware in place that may cause disruptions. Our operations team just spoke them, and they should be taking it down in 15 - 30 minutes.

For me the API behavior is now back again to this morning, with around 2 to 5 rejections per second, and most being successful on the first or second backed-off retry.
