Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2015 09:40:38 +0100 From: Joanne Casey <joanne.casey(a)york.ac.uk> To: dcos <dcos-group(a)york.ac.uk> Subject: Ongoing denial of service attack Dear DCOs, Please distribute this widely. As you may already be aware, Janet (our internet supplier) has been hit by a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack this morning. We lost internet connection earlier today, and as the attack is ongoing we may lose it again over the course of the day. Janet are working to put blocks in place, and they are issuing updates to us as they have them. We'll issue updates via our Twitter feed (https://twitter.com/UoYITServices) as necessary. Apologies for the inconvenience this malicious attack has caused. Best wishes, Joanne -- Joanne Casey Communications & Marketing Manager Information Services University of York Heslington, York YO10 5DD + 44 (0)1904 323805 Twitter: twitter.com/UoYITServices andA twitter.com/UoYLibrary Facebook:A www.facebook.com/UoYITServicesA andA www.facebook.com/UoYLibrary IT Services scheduled work and events: www.york.ac.uk/it-services/news/work/ Liberating Information:A informationdirectorate.blogspot.co.uk/ Email disclaimer: http://www.york.ac.uk/docs/disclaimer/email.htm -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "dcos" group.
