Vocus, which owns Orcon, Slingshot, Flip and Stuff Fibre (totalling 15% of NZ broadband users), has suffered a DDoS attack, possibly still ongoing <https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/widespread-internet-outages-across-nz-vocus-hit-by-cyber-attack/YG7ADTQEZWLGDTTBZ4EEFZ633I/>. Users in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch were affected from 1:30pm, though some reported services returning by 2:10pm. This has also hit EFTPOS payments.
Yeah, that knocked me off the net quite nicely... Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann Dept. of Computer Science University of Waikato, NZ +64 (7) 858-5174 (office) +64 (7) 577-5304 (home office) http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ http://www.data-mining.co.nz/
