Update

Currently, we are experiencing between 20-40% packet loss inbound to our Dallas datacenter. The attacker has shifted their attacks away from our network infrastructure up to various interconnection points in our colocation provider's wider networks. Our provider is actively engaged and working on mitigating these attacks. We will update as we hear more.

Update

We're still experiencing inbound congestion due to ongoing DoS attacks, which may cause packet loss and increased latency for customers in our Dallas datacenter. We're actively working to resolve these issues as quickly as possible.
