Almost 10pm eastern standard time. Trying to connect with 50 Miner but am getting a popup message in Russian. I can't read Russian and can't even type it here because I don't have a Russian keyboard! But I will try- "Ownbka aBTOpn3aunn"

Never had a problem before and using the pool for six months.
OK just a few minutes later and I can connect and mine now. Not sure what happened. However it was disconcerting to get that message in Russian.
I was getting this too, I am fairly certain it was just an untranslated error for "can't connect to server" or something along those lines, seeing as I can load the site now I assume the DDoS mentioned above has passed, yay!
