Numerous popular websites have been affected by a distributed denial of service attack – an action which floods a website with massive amounts of traffic making connections difficult or impossible. LiveStream, Colgate’s live web streaming service provider, has been impacted and other services may be affected as well. Most DDoS attacks resolve quickly but due to the widespread nature of this attack, we thought you should know. A DDoS doesn’t mean a site is down, just inaccessible, so hang in there! The Internet will be right back.

ITS will be working to solve a network problem early Monday morning. The work, planned for 5:00 AM on Monday, October 3, will cause a brief disruption – approximately 5 minutes – to Internet access and telephone service in the following buildings:

Ho Science Center

Reid Athletic Center

Case-Geyer Library

Conant House

Chapel House

100 Hamilton St.

Base Camp

Technicians will be working in each building to complete the work, which requires a physical equipment change.

We apologize for the late notice and any inconvenience. The issue was discovered this weekend and it’s best that it be addressed before work resumes Monday morning. If you notice any issues with telephone or Internet service, or if you have any questions about this work, as always, please contact the ITS Service Desk on x7111 or email us at itshelp@colgate.edu.

Best regards,
