Such assaults are sadly quite common in this industry and work by overloading a target server or user with masses of data requests from multiple internet-connected devices (often malware hijacked computers \/ botnets), causing connectivity and performance problems.<\/p>\n<p>The initial attack against their core network was promptly mitigated by their Cloudflare DDoS protection. As a result, ICUK&#8217;s broadband\/leased line network is currently functioning as normal. The attackers have since turned their attention to ICUK&#8217;s VoIP and Control Panel\/Website Infrastructure, which has continued to experience some periodic problems this afternoon, although it came back online just as we were going to press.<\/p>\n<p>Leslie Costar, Owner of ICUK, said: &#8220;<em>Communication with our customers has been open, frequent, and transparent throughout this process. The directors and staff at ICUK would like to sincerely thank all customers for their patience, support, and understanding during this challenging time<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/interstatus.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Control Panel and API Access Update &#8211; 08\/10\/2025 16:29<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We are aware of continued DDOS attacks against our Control Panel and API which we are working on each one as they come through to mitigate them.
