Patrick Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Anyone has just had internet outages for 15 minutes or so? Looks like the proxy server went down.
jhothersall Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 It's the connection to the web proxy server works and moodle and portal too
jhothersall Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 It's down again it's there no1 priority to fix, but this is become a big issue.
Patrick Posted December 7, 2015 Author Posted December 7, 2015 Is this potentially a network outage due to the flooding in NW england?
jhothersall Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 No I don't think, this happened on Thursday too its JISC aka JANET I think ... But could be wrong
Patrick Posted December 7, 2015 Author Posted December 7, 2015 169554 - 07/12/2015 - 09:37 - Loss of connectivity affecting multiple Janet connections Janet engineers have identified a denial of service attack on the Janet network. Engineers are implementing blocks. Who and why would someone DDOS JISC/Janet?
browolf Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 you can check Janet network status here: https://netsight.ja.net/Public/NetworkSummary.aspx 1
Patrick Posted December 7, 2015 Author Posted December 7, 2015 We've seen that but it's not that helpful as on Friday the network was up and down and it showed no issues.
Patrick Posted December 7, 2015 Author Posted December 7, 2015 Janet engineers have identified the source of the attack and have implemented blocks. Network is currently stabilising. So that's that hopefully. Rogue malware or targeted attack?
browolf Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 seems like targeted bescause jisc now say Jisc Major Incidents @jiscmi 6m6 minutes ago #TT169554 - We will not be updating this or our status page. Apologies to our customers. Updates will still be provided through our TTs. Jisc Major Incidents @jiscmi 7m7 minutes ago #TT169554 - We suspect that those behind today’s DDOS attack are adjusting their point of attack based on our twitter updates. 1
jhothersall Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Thank you for that info just wish BTLS would relay this info.
free780 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Janet have said they won't post public updates due to security.
MrKJLS Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Publicly-funded academic computer network Janet has come under a persistent DDoS attack today, which hobbled multiple internet connections, including the Manchester to Manchester Core Router. Janet, effectively the UK's computer network for educational and research institutions, first experienced connectivity problems shortly after 9am this morning. Its engineers and security teams identified the cause as a DDoS attack and worked to identify the source of the assault and implement blocks. After some suggestions of network stabilisation however, further problems were seen. The network is funded by Jisc, formerly the Joint Information Systems Committee, a non-departmental public body in the UK, whose Major Incidents Twitter account provided the most recent updates: At the time of writing the tactic is yet to have any great effect, with 35 connections down, according to Netsight. While mostly facility specific, the Manchester to Manchester Core Router backbone connection is also down.Following our publication, Jisc send The Register a statement confirming that: "On Monday 7 December at 9.24 a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack caused unplanned disruption on the Janet network. This has resulted in a potentially intermittent service for all customers. Our network and computer security incident response teams are currently working to resolve the problem. Customers affected have been contacted and are being provided with up to date information." So there we have it. ® Source: UK research network Janet under ongoing and persistent DDoS attack • The Register
jhothersall Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Still having issues, this is getting really bad :-(
Joanne Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Guy from BTLS told me JANET are having multiple servers attacked from all over the place. Not a good day for no internet because I feel like crap!
Valsh Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 now lightspeed is randomly blocking sites. I think that's just the failsafe when the traffic doesn't leave the network properly. It's been like this since Friday afternoon, starting to get annoying. The good news is the school portal can still be read!
Patrick Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 I can't even get on edugeek on the network. They are absolutely getting hammered.
Joanne Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 I'm trying to edit a website on my phone... It's not going well 😂
