On June 23, 2011 starting at approximately 9:00a PST, the
Fremont 2 datacenter was subject to of a large sustained
DDOS targeting a customer. The attack caused OSPF and
BGP reloads resulting in elevated CPU utilization and
performance degradation on the router. The offending
customer was identified and was moved to a different
router. The attack was partially mitigated at
approximately 11:00a PST, and full containment was realized
at approximately 11:30a PST. We are working with the
vendor regarding these attacks and hope to have a more
robust solution in place should we see a reoccurrence.
Hurricane Electric makes every effort possible to minimize
the impact of router hardware and software upgrades, we
apologize for the inconvenience.
