    RFO to incident today:

    Earlier this morning, our network operations team identified a large-scale Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack directed at the reseller hosting server van-rs23.ispcontrol.net. The attack involved a high volume of inbound traffic that resulted in intermittent connection timeouts, increased latency, and degraded performance for hosted sites and associated services.


    Upon detection, automated mitigation protocols were engaged, and additional filtering and rate-limiting rules were applied at the edge and upstream levels. Our team worked with our DDoS mitigation partners to analyze and scrub malicious traffic patterns. During the event, legitimate traffic may have experienced short periods of packet loss or timeouts as filtering rules propagated.

    The attack has since been fully mitigated, and normal service performance has been restored. No data loss or persistent service impact occurred.

    Current Status:

    • Mitigation measures are in place and stable.

    • Server performance has returned to normal operating parameters.

    • We will continue enhanced monitoring of the affected network segment to ensure ongoing stability and to detect any potential follow-up activity.

    Next Steps:
    Our network engineering team is conducting a post-incident review to further optimize DDoS filtering profiles and evaluate additional edge-layer protections.
