At about 12:20 this afternoon, normal connectivity should be restored, however the intrusion prevention system is still being bypassed.

Email could still be delayed, but is delivery is starting to catch-up.

If you experience additional difficulties, please call Computing & Communications at 206-221-6000.

The interruption of service today was due to overload of our intrusion prevention system, consequently C&C temporarily disabled that system.

The overload traffic seems to be related to recent Windows Meta File (WMF) vulnerability. See http://www.washington.edu/computing/news/wmf.html

More updates to come.
