I was told

Stuart: Our senior admin working on server for rsync backups

Max T: I can see only mysql service overloaded on server.
Max T: I am going to take action against the databases which are causing problem with server overload

We are facing hardware issue with the server "rotherham.webhosting.uk.com" on which your account is hosted. We are checking this with our data center engineers.

And now a DDOS attack!!!

Someone fibbing?
