Dear Eratosphereans,


Just as FYI -- As most of you might have noticed earlier today, the Sphere came under a heavy denial of service attack from yet-undetermined hackers. After working to resolve things most of the morning, we're back up, and especially, up with no loss of data. I still have to some more server fine-tuning and hardening and digging into who the potential culprits are. Nonetheless, things are running normally again!

Cheers,
...Alex
