It seems they (ABS and IBM) were using Softlayer. Someone rang their help desk and asked if it was likely that there had been a DDoS. The response was - very unlikely. The most reasonable explanation is that they didn't expect everyone to try and log on at about 7:30, after dinner. Someone had already predicted this and had it published in the age - on August 4 http://www.theage.com.au/comment/the-age-letters/t-20160802-gqjqj7.html Of course, this explanation won't go down well in government circles. And it may be wrong, but some evidence, or at least independent corroboration, would be nice. -- Regards brd Bernard Robertson-Dunn Sydney Australia email: [email protected] web: www.drbrd.com web: www.problemsfirst.com Blog: www.problemsfirst.com/blog _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
