Network issues

Since approximately 4:00 pm Pacific Daylight Time, Six Apart has been the victim of a sophisticated distributed denial of service attack. This has affected all of Six Apart's sites, causing intermittent and limited availability for LiveJournal, Typepad, TypeKey, sixapart.com, movabletype.org, movabletype.com as well as status.livejournal.org. Our network operations staff is working around the clock with our Internet access providers to resolve the issue. We appreciate your patience and support, and will provide updates as we have them.


Currently access and availability to our sites has improved. We continue to work closely with our Internet access providers and will monitor the situation through the night.

We appreciate your patience and support, and will provide updates as we have them.

I have a lj friend in Italy who e-mailed me that he couldn't access LJ.

Except Livejournal Status couldn't be accessed either...

I noticed that too. Because I tried accessing Livejournal Status. It didn't work.

Livejournal Status was down/blocked the whole time LiveJournal itself was, which actually rendered it completely useless... and your statement to check it for updates not that useful.

I was under the impression that it was hosted off the network so that it wouldn't be affected by things that take down LJ itself. Guess I was wrong.

[info]crucially

May 3 2006, 07:01:39 UTC 6 years ago

It is hosted of another network, nothing stops an attacker from making it unavailable just like the main site though. It is mainly if we suffer any non attack problems.

We are going to make sure that the status page is more resilient in the future.

Bastards. I figured it was DDoS when I saw the behavior on the different SixApart sites tonight.

Good luck!

I even noticed that LJ Status was down for a bit... or maybe my computer sucks. Who knows?
Nonetheless, thanks for the heads up and the hard work. I thought I was going crazy! :)

[info]kingbowser123

I noticed something going on. I couldn't get any form of response from the site whatsoever. This site is at least accessible now so I am satisfied ;-).

Cheers,

By now, everybody knows that the Status page wasn't working either - so there's no use in me rehashing that again, but..

Good luck & thanks for the info!

Six Apart is the company that owns LiveJournal. :D (http//www.sixapart.com)
