Our network security team is currently working on this.. some connections MAY time out or be slow during this process.

DDoS stands for Distributed Denial of Service. It basically does what it sounds like: it prevents people from connecting to the site. To put it simply, they use multiple computers to attack a single source. All of this constant data coming to the server can overload it and prevent it from processing data from legitimate computers that are trying to connect to it.

A synflood is a type of DDoS attack. Whenever you visit a web site, your computer sends whats called a "SYN" packet (synchronize). When the server receives this request, it replies with a "SYN-ACK" packet (acknowledged). After the computer that first sent the SYN request receives this SYN-ACK packet, it's supposed to reply to the server with an ACK packet. In a synflood, the attackers purposely do not send the ACK packet. This causes problems, since the server has already allocated memory for the request.

I put it as simply as I could, but there may still be parts of it that may confuse people. There's probably even more to it than that.

Wow,so basicaly people are trying to attack PC?Thats dumb.

I couldn't log on due to server problems (as PC put it), but other than that, I had no problems at all since the time it got fixed.
