DDoS Attack - Indigo

Service Outage

We’re currently looking into DoS (denial of service) attack against one site on Indigo. This has caused the web server to flood with connections and some pages may not currently load.

The site concerned has been suspended and we’re attempting to block the attack at the edge network.

2 Updates to “DDoS Attack - Indigo”

  1. XILO Says:

    We have had to block all HTTP access currently on Indigo to control the attack.

    We are putting in place filters to mitigate the attack but due to the nature of a DDoS, there are thousands of source addresses.

  2. XILO Says:

    Web access was restored an hour ago and we have added some further blocking to detect the attack.

    At this time, the attack is on-going and the site that the attack was aimed against has been removed from our network in line with our acceptable policy.

    Apologies for any problems this may have caused.
