Information about February 4th TS server attacks

Post by =(V)=RocketJedi »

Subject and date Description
Brief bursts of packet loss due to DDoS attacks
Feb 04 2016 02:50:37 PM PT Repeated DDoS attacks against our shared TS3 server IP address in NYC have caused several bursts of packet loss at this location, and required temporary null-routes of that IP address. We are working with Internap to filter more of this attack traffic upstream to mitigate the attacks.

We also already have another 10 Gbps circuit on order with Internap at this location. This circuit with them will likely be ready later this month.

Update @ 7:18pm EST: The updated filters effectively blocked the attacks, at least for the time being. We are continuing to monitor the location closely.
DDoS attack today
Feb 04 2016 02:29:56 PM PT Another very large DDoS attack against the IP address hosting voice server customers of your type at this location overloaded our connection speed and/or our router's filtering capacity a short while ago and caused location-wide problems. We were forced to null-route the shared IP address as an emergency measure, which caused the collateral damage of stopping clients from being able to connect to your server. This emergency null-route will last just a few minutes and be automatically removed.

Update @ 5:37pm EST: We continue to work to mitigate these attacks in NYC. They are exceeding our capacity to Internap and we have asked Internap to apply new ACLs to help us stop them.
