Update(s):

Date: 2014-04-15 08:08:36 UTC
We have contacted them and they have ceased to publish it.

A /24 was taking a lot of DDoS. Our VAC anti-DDoS system is
working perfectly and the attackers are not able to bring down
our client. It's likely to be another form of attack but
that would be on a different scale...
