Yes, a great start to the new year
We are working to resolve these issues and hope to have it back as soon as possible
Ok guys, an update.
So yesterday and pretty much for the entire day, we were experiencing serious issues on the server, after many hours we had thought that it was because of system resources on the server itself, we had various processes running and we thought we had found our culprit, we thought it might have been the fact that our traffic has increased significantly and in addition our faucets and other features on the site were beginning to cause strain on our server(s)
Today, upon investigation, and much discussion with our server host(s) it transpires that there was a prolonged attack on our faucets server.
Thankfully there are failsafes in place that upon an attempted breach, it kicks our security into gear and shuts down all of our faucets in the process
Hackers were trying very hard to penetrate our faucets, they failed, but in the process it increased our CPU to around 90% and added an additional 21% to our RAM usage.
We have just now fixed all of our faucets and they are all now running again, the site too is running well (for which we did also purchase an upgrade for our server in the process)
The site should be running much faster and smoother than it was before these attacks.
We apologise to all for the inconvenience this may have caused for some of you.
Our investigation into the hack is ongoing.
Thanks
