90% of my server list is crossed out

[WildCatNL 2]

Have been playing for a few days now and so far all went smooth.

Big Dayz server list is loaded of available servers every time I search for a server.

about 15min ago I joined my regular server, but shortly after logging in, I get an orange chain icon, not knowing what it is I disconnect and reconnect to the server. Or at least I planned to reconnect, but the server didn't show up any more. I disable my filters and to my shock almost 90% of the huge DayZ server list is crossed out, marked with an big red X.

I check with the few server that are still listed and nearly every one I click on, the ping updates to 2500 in red.

Tried a few other games and did a few online ping tests and they all seem normal, smooth low ping.

So ehmmm what gives?

The main server got DDoSED so its quite f'ed up right now. Try again later / Tomorrow.

Oh that stinks, what is there to gain to DDoS a game server?

A well, at least I now know, I can stop trying to pin to problem to my system/software.

Are these issues not posted somewhere for every one to read? Or did I simply miss it? Looked at the announcement and news forum section, but didn't spot anything that hints DDoS attacks...

The central node has been down again for the last few hours due to the attacks. It is ongoing we're working to fix it as soon as we can.
