This incident has been resolved. We do not experience any unusual traffic anymore. So far we managed to block a total of about 3.000.000 requests within a couple of minutes and blocked about 10.000 hosts. Nevertheless we continue extensive monitoring of all systems.

Unfortunately today we are experiencing several DDoS attacks on our servers. Teams are working hard to mitigate/manage. This is causing a lot of high load, or connection issues. Currently our systems are working at normal rates again. Thank you for your patience.
