Releasing Domains and Ongoing Amplification Attacks
FurrIX has chosen not to renew the domains ‘birb.rest’ and ‘avali.rest’ for cost reasons.
These domains are not a core part of our network stack and were only used for personal
splash pages and a handful of user subdomains that have not seen lookups in some time.
This should not affect our operations, or that our members, in any meaningful way.
We are also dealing with a DNS amplification attack that is abusing ANY queries and will be
temporarily dropping any IP address that cross over 40 request per second until the incoming
traffic targeting the domains starts to ease up. This has been going on for several hours and
we are working to limit the amount of traffic crossing or originating from our network.

Getting Ready to Take Over Name Servers
The FurrIX NOC is getting ready to take our the name servers from
Marbled Fennec Networks. This move will place the name servers
into FurrIX control and add them into our workflow directly instead
of having to go through MFN for changes and updates.

Dropping Traffic from Singapore
We have been seeing absurd amounts of wordpress attack traffic and just really odd DNS traffic coming from the country of Singapore. For the time being, we have updated our network rules to drop traffic originating from the country. This is a network wide decision affecting our our routers.
