For the first time in a while the server has had some major downtime.

Basically at 7:30am PST the server’s internet connection went offline and unfortunately I was asleep  until about 10:30. So, when I woke up to see the server down I contacted upstream support and they replaced a faulty ethernet cable on the server.

About 3 hours downtime total; and I’m very sorry for any inconvenience.

Thanks for letting us know. Just as a suggestion it would be useful if you could post such updates to your Twitter account so we have somewhere to go to an update in the event that all things Vlexo go down. That's the first place I went to, to find out what was happening.

Nope, this problem was a broken Ethernet cable on the server. You probably have an insecure script on your account that someone exploited. But I did a virus scan of your account and it turned up clean.
