This is just an FYI. We have detected, and are currently mitigating, a small scale DDoS attack against one of our VPS host nodes. Because this VPS host currently hosts assets for YourBigCloset it could possibly affect the performance of BigCloset as we host some of our VideoAds from YourBigCloset. This is just an FYI and we don't know if it has any relation to Bigcloset.

Was going to ask for a translation in English from the Geek but if it's sorted there's no need!

DDoS: Distributed Denial of Service

Piper's picture

DDoS is a type of DOS attack where multiple compromised systems, which are often infected with a Trojan, are used to target a single system causing a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.

Or in even easier terms, someone uses many computers/devices to send a lot of "fake" traffic trying to shut down a service by overloading the system.
