It seems that ATRL is being attacked by a DDOS attack. While it isnt huge, we are experiencing very slow load times right now because there are a number of computers that are requesting large amounts of data from our server (i.e. a DDOS attack) I am working with our host right now to try and figure this out and see what can be done. If you have any questions please feel free to let me know.
THIS DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR COMPUTER IN ANYWAY.
It is completely based on ATRL's end.
A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. Although the means to carry out, motives for, and targets of a DoS attack may vary, it generally consists of the concerted efforts of a person or people to prevent an Internet site or service from functioning efficiently or at all, temporarily or indefinitely.
Unfortunately it's very hard to trace people who do these. It would take a lot of money and resources, so usually unless you are someone like the US government or a company like google, your only defense if your a target is to a get a expensive firewall (a firewall is something that blocks requests if it senses a threat in its most basic explanation.)
