    The VKS GEO has has been abused and as a result has been used to launch attacks. This morning an attack of 80Gbps has been launched from hundreds of VKS Virtual Servers.

    We are working on the netflow in order to see who is responsible for the attack to cut it but the situation became too urgent and very dangerous.

    So we will cut VKS routing to isolate the abuse and clean the infrastructure. This may take several days.

  • I didn't even use a secure password, probably hacked their way into a few boxes.

  • 80Gbps? That's extremely impressive for a free service. I guess they have over 10Gbps per location.

  • Very (not) good...I use it as front proxy for my website..now they are unreachable...

    Though,I'm using ssh key to login...

    sound like this was the target: http://blog.cloudflare.com/65gbps-ddos-no-problem

  • I was thinking the same thing, but Cloudflare said it's a amplified DNS attack, right? So it may or may not have been from the vKSs.

  • Looks like my VKS is up now...

    Oh that's why I got that Pingdom text message, at least Pingdom gave me a real alert. I don't even use my vKS.

  • Well with such a massive give away it was inevitable, is this the beast that took down godaddy? :p

  • All quiet in HK. Just 1 vks for 2 months 100% uptime and clean.
