We had a DDOS attack that overloaded the server. We now have everything set up properly so that it can no longer take down the server. That's basically what happened.

We had our DDOS protection mostly set up, but didn't know how to use it exactly because we had never suffered a DDOS attack before. Now we know how to use it.

Saidit was down again this afternoon. Was it a separate issue?

No it was a related issue to part of the defenses we deployed from the attack yesterday. But it's all sorted out now.
