[arin-discuss] [arin-announce] ARIN DDoS Attack

[Mike Mazarick]

Mark,

I am sure the significance of the same attack at around the same time on
Friday hasn't been lost on you.

Good luck!!   I hope this gets resolved too like the last one did.   Some
type of formal Root Cause may be in order.   The identified Root Cause can
be wrong, but at least it signals the rest of the ARIN staff that it is
being worked on, somebody takes it very seriously, and will wrestle this
problem to the ground until it doesn't reappear.

It is a lot to ask when you were already 120% busied out, but it will pay
off in the long run.
