server down time

[Dirk Hohndel]

Thanks...

I identified the source of the current problem.
It was a combination of a rather stupid but apparently malicious attack, and an incredibly stupid Splunk app that was downloading gigabytes of data from my server (and a non-malicious user running the app)
I flagged the app as inappropriate at Splunk - I hope they take it down.

Thanks

As always with major construction work, the contractors are very vague in their forecast how long this will take... "four hours or more starting mid morning" (that's PST, so GMT-0800).
