eRepublik under DDOS attacks reloaded

Day 791, 10:40 • Published in • by Plato

Dear citizens,

A sustained DDoS attack took place yesterday which caused eRepublik to be temporary inaccessible. The guys from the tech department have done a wonderful job, and in less than two hours the site was up running, bringing back the New World to its 350.000 citizens. The attack originating in Turkey was not extremely strong, as we've seen worse, but the issue in this case came from a specific Turkish ISP policy of allocating IPs, making impossible to filter the traffic through our servers. This forced us to block the entire class of flooding IPs, which also affects some citizens. We have immediately contacted the ISP asking them to find and isolate inside their infrastructure the specific guilty people. Until we receive an answer, we'll keep it blocked in order to protect the entire eRepublik community.

Thank you all for your support,
The eRepublik Team
