As some of you had noticed, https.openbsd.org had log files fill up
and stopped accepting requests.

This seems to have been the result of an annoying botnet which has
taken a liking to us:

Anyway, I've mitigated the issue, and you shouldn't have problems
placing orders, if you do please let me know.

You can follow along with pf, and note the insteresting distribution
of the botnet here:

where I update the sources of the attack every 15 minutes. I'll leave
the exercise of looking up the class b's in whois to the reader :)
