Phew, that was quite an afternoon!

Hi All,

I often wonder why these things happen just as you have an appointment to go to !!

At around 4.30pm today (8th March), just as I was finishing a meeting with Wayne and Luke, we were alerted to the fact that our Redditch site was offline.

We could still get to some of the network, but not all of it. Within the first 30 minutes we realised our network was being attacked from outside and the hunt was on to find the serer that was being targetted.

At around 7pm we were able to isolate the VLAN (private network) that the server was on and bring service back for all customers. Over the next couple of hours we have been able to locate it to a possible 2 servers and these are now being reviewed in isolation.

During this time our ADSL network was not affected in anyway, but customers may have had issues with accessing email.

The network is now stable and we are monitoring the sitution

Thank you for working with us during this time to get the issue resolved.

Paul
