Our WordPress hosting servers are showing timeouts on some pages and others are slow to respond. We are Investigating.
Update: 18:52 We have identified that a very large number of WordPress sites are being attacked from a very large number of sources. This is very hard to automatically differentiate from legitimate traffic. We are attempting to manually identify a commonality.
Update: 19:12 The attack continues but we are happy that we have mitigated the worst of it. We will continue to monitor and block traffic as required.
Update 20:09 We are continuing to block attacks and monitor the situation however we are happy that sites are up and responding.
Update 21:18 Traffic has returned to normal and all systems are nominal again.
