DDoS Attacks

If you tried to access our pages yesterday and this morning, we were offline due to a DDoS attack. This was the second such attack in as many weeks. That is why our securty system scans your browser before allowing access to the site. A DDoS attack is when hundreds or thousands of computers are infected with a virus. The virus is then directed to cause those computers to rapidly open pages on our site. Our security system is designed to block those infected computers.

Thank you for your patience. Our team is working to get us up and running and back to normal. We’re much better prepared to deal with it than we were two years ago when we were taken down for a month.
