Cycling in Auckland is under attack!


If you follow my other website, Cycling in Auckland, you'll probably have realized that it is not working at the moment. Unfortunately, it is a bit under the weather as the server where it lives in 'who knows where' is suffering with a DDS (Distributed Denial of Service attack).

I asked the technical department (Su Yin) what this meant and she said 
It basically means that someone is flooding their servers with huge bandwidth-sucking activities (usually malware or trojan), thus crippling the server and denying service to everyone else
So there you have it ... normal service will resume as soon as possible.
