Quote:
The DDoS extortion attempts against us email providers will continue. We at mailbox.org expect further attacks in the next few days. - Our colleagues at other providers are also currently fighting an ongoing DDoS wave as we write these lines. Behind the scenes, we have networked with other affected providers worldwide and are exchanging information on attacks and defence measures in a collegial and friendly manner.
It remains to be seen whether the extortionists will succeed in overloading our infrastructure during the next attack on us or whether we will be in the driver's seat and the DDoS attacks will remain without noticeable effects.
We consider ourselves as well positioned as possible and, to our knowledge, have done and prepared everything that can be done. But every network and every data line has its limits, if only the attack is strong enough. Fortunately, it also costs the extortionists money to operate and provide these immense attack resources. So they also have their limits in the strength and duration of the attacks and will have to stop after some time.
