Incident Report for Web Cloud

Resolved

That night we received SYN flood attacks
from China on shared IP gateway serving
to communicate our clients sites with
Outside services hosted elsewhere.

We blocked the attack by blocking the SYN from outside
except for the port 80. Normally there are no problems
except for services that use syn cookies (except
always port 80).

Problems on services on non standard. ports
were forworded to us.

The attack is finished. We will remove protections.
