(Resolved) 2016-10-12 20:45 UTC: Degraded performance due to DDoS attack

Last updated: Sat Apr 22 00:23:09 GMT 2017

Beginning at approximately 20:45 UTC on October 12th, the ThousandEyes platform experienced multiple distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks over the course of several hours. During this period, response times from app.thousandeyes.com and other resources in the thousandeyes.com domain were longer than normal, or connections may have failed altogether.  Data uploads from all Agents to ThousandEyes collector were also affected. Once the attacks ended, Agents began uploading locally cached test data.
