David Klain 874106 Posted December 4, 2010 at 11:45 PM Posted December 4, 2010 at 11:45 PM The USA-C server (which also hosts http://www.vatsim.net) has been under a Distributed Denial of Service attack for the last few hours. Luca is actively working the problem. We are also capturing log files of where the attack is coming from so that appropriate action can be taken. While the one server is down (which impacts the http://www.vatsim.net website and its part of the data feed), the network itself is functional on remaining servers. People using a tool like Servinfo can get a current network picture by simply pressing the shift key and then the VATSIM button to load data without trying to pull an updated list of servers from the USA-C network. We regret the inconvenience and minor disruption caused by this childish and illegal action, it is not stopping people from enjoying and using the network. Thank you for your patience.

While the attack is still in progress, we have taken steps to counteract it and protect the server. All services on that server are restored.
