Just for the information, I also have problem with reseting my password (no email arrived). It is no big issue though and definitely not a priority. (There is nothing valuable in my account and I do not use this password anywhere else.)

hmmmm.

just had a message from blockchain.info that someone tried to log into my wallet!!!!!! Could this be from the hack?

joolz

I think because this was, similarly to Linode issue, an inside job. I don't have any indices that other bitcoin-related servers at OVH has been hacked as well (yet), but the scenario how all this happen indicates that somebody has been able to get password recovery email somehow. And what's the salary of administrator of OVH mailing server?

Is it? Press F5 refresh - site is down I think

You can't counter DDOS, assuming it is organized 'right'.

pool is up but still under heavy ddos attack. im still not getting a connection just timing out

also mitigating of ddos is simple aslong as its a simple ddos attack slush is a very smart guy and can easily solve simple ddos attacks so im assuming this is either a bot net ddos multiple ip addresses rotating and causing mayhem or one of the newer ddos attacks where there using internet gateways to attack the dns. either way its not a simple one to solve.

the easiest ways to solve ddos is havr more bandwith than the attackers but this comes at a price there are people that do this the famous one being cloudflare or koddos but they cost
