• DigitalOcean DOS attempts?

    Hey guys,

    My VMs are all on digitalocean. I've noticed today a huge spike in DOS
    attempts from UK based IPs. Anyone else noticing an uptick? Maybe there's a botnet or something?

    On the heals of the New Orleans hack and other politically motivated hacking shenanigans (effing Russia!) I'm concerned the country filtering and other
    DDOS protections I have set up (press escape twice on login, accept
    disclaimer by typing "yes") are not enough. I seem to be exhausting the connection pool or something.

    In fact I got booted off my board while typing this and fortunately Mystic saved my progress so I could come back and finish. Very puzzling. I haven't
    had issues like this before.
