For the past 12 hours all services and loading times have returned to normal, and we will continue to gather additional information for the purposes of preventing and mitigating future attacks.
This downtime wasn't related to the scheduled downtime on Wednesday, or our upcoming move to a new data center next month.
We'll continue to update http://status.livejournal.org/ as soon as reasonably possible once our operations team confirms downtime or interruptions in service. We're currently working on improving the process so that updates there can be posted more quickly.
