Authorize.Net downed by DDOS attack

09/20/2004

Seems that our credit-card payment processor (and everyone else’s!) is actively being struck down by a distributed denial-of-service attack.

We’ve temporarily closed our online store until they get the situation sorted out (feel free to call 1-800-699-PROG and place a phone order in the meantime).

Funny how these things aren’t making the headlines, though. Either they don’t want to panic the populace, or attacks have become so commonplace that they are no longer considered newsworthy…
