Athenaeum Restored
from The Distributed-Denial-of-Sleep-Team at Dreamhost
referred by alert reader Kilik

At this time, all network services have been fully restored to our data center. The cause of the outage was a major distributed denial of service attack (DDOS) aimed at one of our main routers. Once we isolated the problem, we quickly worked with our upstream provider to resolve it. A full report detailing the problem and the steps we will be taking to prevent it from happening again will go out tomorrow. All services are now up, but you may experience email delays as remote networks re-establish connections with our servers. No emails were lost. If you are still experiencing problems of any kind, please contact our support team.


I suspect eastern european blackmailers, or maybe the RIAA. Or perhaps VGER. The most likely culprit is the Mars Rovers new AI function. Ah, hell, it was the CIA.
