Since they’re hosted at NTT, that you can reach it from their seems reasonable. But I’ve just tried again from my Level 3 rack in the Santa Barbara hub, and no access. So it’s intermittent at best. Hopefully they’ll get clear soon. We had a turn-up today that got waylaid by the outage. -mel

I’m sure we all sympathize with the workload a DDOS attack imposes, as most of us have been there. But I can’t understand why there is so little broadcast communication of the attack through multiple channels. lists.arin.net is rather esoteric. Facebook and Twitter are
