Earlier today we communicated to you we were experiencing intermittent
service disruptions as a result of a distributed denial of service
(DDoS) attack – an intentionally malicious flooding of our systems
from various points across the internet.

We want to update you on where things stand.

restored. We know this is unacceptable.

We are using all available means to restore services to every one of
our customers and halt this criminal attack on our business and our
customers’ business. We are working round the clock to make that happen.

We are committed to updating you in as timely manner as possible,
