RocketNode - Actively thwarting DDoS attacks against the VA network – Incident details

This incident has been resolved.

We are continuing to monitor the attacks against our VA network.

Our engineering teams have recently pushed out a new feature set to automatically enable our enhanced protection on a per-server basis. We will be backfilling servers tomorrow morning (restarting your server tonight can also adopt the protection if you don't want to wait until tomorrow). The more servers we adopt into our enhanced protection, the less room there is for an attack to hurt. We will ensure everything is locked down ironclad tomorrow.

To also provide some additional clarity, enhanced protection is not a new subscription plan or something like that, but rather our game specific filtering which will allow our network to thwart attacks in milliseconds rather than seconds (like the 60 second downtime sprints we've been seeing).

We will keep everyone updated with any further developments. Thank you!

For the past few days or so, our network engineering team has been actively handling DDoS attacks against the VA network.

We believe the attacks have concluded and have fully identified the perpetrator. We will continue to monitor the network and be available to provide any manual intervention necessary. In the meantime, our team is still working around the clock to improve our automated DDoS mitigation strategies and response time.

We will keep everyone updated with any further developments.
