Tentatively, the attack has subsided, so we'll bring the site back up again.

The target of the attack has been null routed within our network, and this has had the effect of restoring connectivity to the neighbouring customers on this particular firewall pair.

We're still seeing the bad traffic hitting our borders, so will monitor from here.

The affected customer will be emailed shortly.

We have been alerted to a DoS against against the Manchester site which has taken several hosts offline.

We're working on mitigating the issue now.
