They beat us to the servers by about 2 hours and corrupted the synchronization between our databases . So most of last night(MST) was spent fixing the issues created by the compromise. This morning's slowdowns were a result of one of the servers not responding well to one of the security fixes once enough load was put on it . We are pretty sure we have resolved all of the issues and prevented them from happening again. Thanks for your patience.

Mr Tinky said the web attack was probably from United Airlines
(LAX_AKL low fares)
