Great news! All inbound attacks appear to now be screened and the CPU levels on our networking equipment is currently stable. We�ve strengthened our defenses at all levels of our network as well � borders are hardened, cores are protected, transit inte**ces are stable. That said, we�re remaining vigilant as these attacks are much more advanced than what we�ve seen previously.
At this time, we've been given the all clear from our network engineers to mark this issue completely resolved. We will continue to monitor the situation throughout the rest of the day.
If you are still having any issues with your sites being down, please contact our support staff and we will be glad to look further into the issue.
Thank you for your patience while we resolved the situation.
Sincerely,
The Dreamhost Support Team
Hello again,
We're still working to completely stabilize our network. Here is what we know so far. We suffered an extremely sophisticated attack. It took a while to get things under control enough to see what was going on and then start not only blocking attack vectors but track down and disable software being used to launch attacks from our network as well. Things are almost under control currently and once they are we�ll get a full and detailed report from our network engineers for you.
