To help mitigate the impact of this traffic, we have enabled DoS protection for the affected source ranges.

The service remains available, and we are continuing to review logs and investigate potential configuration changes that may help prevent similar issues from occurring in future.

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide further updates if required.
