As of 2014-01-01 05:36 GMT, the network has re-synced and difficulty is going back up.  The network becoming more resilient to DDoS attacks.

Other Nxt resources have also been experiencing attacks.  Forums, wikis, exchanges, etc may be unavailable during these attacks.  Somebody doesn't like Nxt.

The Nxt network is currently under DDoS attack! We need your help!  If you can run a VPS node, it will help us stabilize and secure the network.  If you have invested in Nxt, it is beneficial to you to run a VPS to help to secure the Nxt network.  Hallmarking your node helps the network, but is not necessary.

Weird, I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

My node didn't experience any DDoS attack and it's synced, maybe they are targeting specific nodes?

Nxt network has just become much bigger. I still see a lot of zombies eating huge volume of traffic from my node.

The volume of traffic seems fine on my side, what kind of DDoS is the attacker using?

I just want better clarification, is he opening raw connections to the node port or using some sort of an edited client?

Because this doesn't sound like a traditional DDoS attack.

It asks for a lot of data back.

For example, 72.196.110.136 sent 400 KiB and leeched 6 Gib.
