We are currently experiencing an Denial of Service Attack against DNS1, DNS2 and DNS3 anycast strands.
We are working on mitigation and will post updates as they become available.
UPDATE 7:55 PM EST:
Our mitigation techniques have brought the dns2.easydns.net anycast cluster back online, which should resolve slow response or timeout issues for end users. We are still experiencing attack traffic, but are working hard to minimize impact. We’ve also managed to identify the target of the attack, and are working on resolving the issue in that direction as well.
Further updates will be posted as they come available.

- Update: DOS Attack Persists
We are currently with no DNS resolution on all of our domains. Do you have an estimated time frame?
Guys you are seriously effecting us, please let me know when this is resolved.

Are you able to notify us when you think the attack is over?
Our customers are not able to reach our site because of this. All four of your servers are timing out. We need a solution ASAP.
Hello,
Can you please update us with Progress? ETA?
Need this fixed ASAP! Or need a workaround!
We are seeing random dns issues and i just wanted to verify if there is some way of opening a ticket so we can get updates?
Thanks
Jason
None of my domains will resolve
I have lost my dns services. No hosts at wold.us are currenty working, which basically means that my email (ivar@wold.us) and others on that domain are down.

We have been experiencing DNS issues since 1:30 PST and has continued until now. We are eagerly waiting your resolution. I would appreciated it very much if yuo could send me an email once you have resolved the issue.
Why is easyDNS the target of a DOS attack?
Hi John,
We’ll have a full post-mortem on-line once the attack is over, but for a quick synopsis of what’s happening, please see our mini-faq at https://www.easydns.com/blog/2012/01/08/mini-faq-about-the-jan-07-ddos-attack/#more-1959
u should post what happened on players accts. also. save a lotta grief
Sorry for the delayed reply here.
We definitely didn’t make communicating the situation a high enough priority, and we’re building up a more robust communication strategy for just this sort of situation.
Our sincere apologies for that.
D A S, what happened with the “players accts”?
