If you've noticed any slowness in Lawfare's performance this morning, the reason is another denial of service attacks. According to our tech folks, "The website went down this morning for 3 minutes starting at 9:38am EST." They made adjustments got the site running against quickly, but you may have noticed a screen from CloudFlare on trying to reach the site.

Who attacked us? Who knows? According to tech people, the "attacks were routed through Poland and the Netherlands this time around. That's not to say people in those countries are responsible, it's just where the computers that were used are housed."
