If you're experiencing a DDoS attack on your regify provider, you may want to know if and how regify can help you on this issue.
Please understand that a DDoS attack is an attack to your company and technically an attack to your infrastructure. DDoS attacks are not an issue of regify products or how we designed or developed the product. It is an attack to your infrastructure.
Technically, a DDoS attack might affect
- your available bandwidth.
- your hosted machine capabilities (CPU, memory, space).
- your technical devices like routers, firewalls and other network devices.
As a consequence, the regify provider might be unreachable, not responding (very slow or timeouts) or displaying error messages. This very likely affects both the web interface and the sending and receiving of regify messages (regimail, regipay, regibox etc). It does not matter if the user is using his mobile or PC devices.
Unfortunately, we as regify
- do not have control about your infrastructure.
- cannot help you identifying the root cause of the inavailability of a system.
- cannot help you identifying the attacker.
- do not know any magical switch in our products to stop the attack or the consequences of the attack.
Suggestions
You should contact your hosting provider immediately. Many hosting providers offer DDoS Mitigations or DDoS protection. Maybe they can help you by
- implementing a DDoS-mitigation-appliance.
- temporarily providing more bandwidth.
- temporarily providing more CPU power.
There are also service providers claiming to protect you from DDoS attacks. We do not have any experience in that field but you might want to check the services of vendors like Cloudflare, Acamai, Ribbon, Netscout etc.
