SSL handshake failed

I was getting this message and was unable to use bitcointalk. Right now also the speed of browsing at bitcointalk is slow as compare to other websites.

Any updates what's going on ?

You are not alone. I had the same experience a few minutes ago. I don't think anything here to be worried by the way.

It works OK right now. (at least to me) I don't see any signs of slowing down.

Occasionally the forum gets targeted by DDOS'ers. Maybe they are doing their thing again. Popular websites like this one get attacked all the time, nothing to be worried about. (hopefully)

Edit: It is happening again now.

I experienced it too, and it seems that you are not alone here either. Suddenly right at the top of my profile a message like this image appears:
Sorry, the image quality seems a bit blurry.

I don't know exactly what's going on with this site so after that message appears the page load speed is very slow. I have to click and cancel several times and have to wait a while just to open a thread or post.

And now bitcointalk.org host error.

Edit: Seems normal now and nothing to worry about.

Maybe there was some DDos or something , sometimes it happens for time to time !
Or theymos tried to implement the new Forum Software  , (but i guess not ) just kidding with that.
The most times i have seen it , it was over after few hours .

It's not a DDOS attack it's related to SSL the forum couldn't establish a secured connection so the issue is on their client-side they might some changes on SSL or they might be updating a new SSL. Since the forum SSL is registered in Cloudflare there might be an issue with Cloudflare.

According to this https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/ there is a network performance issue this might be the reason why we experienced this "SSL handshake failed" but according to them it was resolved.
