Update
Currently, we are experiencing between 20-40% packet loss inbound to our Dallas datacenter. The attacker has shifted their attacks away from our network infrastructure up to various interconnection points in our colocation provider's wider networks. Our provider is actively engaged and working on mitigating these attacks. We will update as we hear more.
