    There was a malicious attack on the site but it was thwarted by a professional hired by Mick.

    Details from Mick:

    "It was an amateur DDOS by only two computers, the guy has blocked the gaping hole that allowed them to do this. they weren't actually sending any requests, but were doing a SYN flood instead - bombard Apache with connection requests, then when the connection is opened, just do nothing (don't request a page). That ties the Apache process up for a few minutes until the connection eventually times out."

    Obvious really. <laugh>

    I've looked up a translation and it means we were attacked but we won.
