VTCPOOL.CO.UK UNDER ATTACK

To all vtcpool.co.uk users - I just received the following message from Digital Ocean who currently host the service:

Our automated systems have detected an inbound Denial of Service attack against your droplet 95.85.52.246.

Due to the size and scale of this attack, we have been forced to temporarily suspend network connectivity to this droplet, in an effort to mitigate this attack.

Attack Rate: 1312978969 bits (That's well over a gigabit per second) per second incoming

I have written back to them asking them to urgently advise when connectivity will be restored.

I am in the process of moving the pool to a pair of redundant, dedicated servers. This attack couldn't have come at a worse time - it will be a week or more until we are fully ready to move to the new servers. I will be liasing with DO today to try and restore service.

Your coins are safe, and as soon as I can get connectivity restored service will resume as normal.

I appologise for the inconvenience, and hope you'll all be patient and stick with us through this.

Same issue here with heavy industries, sorry everyone. If I can suggest a fallover pool coinsprofit is run by the guy who does vertcoin's russian translations.

All the same with vtcweb.poolz.net, sorry (((
I will move everything from DigitalOcean to DDoS - protected datacenter today (already bought servers there)
