Over the twelve days between December 25th and January 5th, Linode saw more than a hundred denial-of-service attacks against every major part of our infrastructure, some severely disrupting service for hundreds of thousands of Linode customers.
On January 31, 2015, at approximately 2:05 AM EST until 3:30 AM EST, a subset of London Linodes experienced packet loss on all of their network communication. Network and operations engineers were immediately contacted and troubleshooting began approximately 20 minutes after the start of the disruption, once Linode’s engineers were briefed on the symptoms and facts that were known at the time.
