Hi All,

It appears someone is attacking our DNS servers. I've mitigated the attack for now, but you may have intermittent issues accessing the Groups.io website if things change.

Thanks,
Mark

See now, that's the problem with DNS attacks. You wouldn't even be able to see the cats !!!!!

Yeah, I'm gonna have to have a word with them punks to leave the cats alone, this is pawsitively a Distributed Denial of Groups.io Service (DDoGS) attack.

Oh no Mark, this is not good. I surely hate this. I hope that it is resolved soon.

Hi All,

I realized I didn't follow up with this. The attack stopped about 45 minutes after it started. We had DNS issues for about 5-8 minutes at the start of the attack before I could mitigate it. 

The DNS servers normally see 200-300 requests/second. During the attack, we were seeing 6k requests/second.

Everything should be back to normal.

Also, your puns are awful. I love it.

Thanks,
Mark
