Slow? This server is under attack

[Pekka]

The router of this server has been under a severe DoS attack the last 1.5 hours, the attack goes on. This will make this site very slow

A lot of people are working on it and it should be cleared ASAP.

Be patient. Thanks!

Thanks Rustle. The attack was over in two hours, but it was very 'effective' as the router handled big block of servers. I can't understand how attackers can justify their actions, it's plain information technology terrorism.
