END OF MESSAGE

whatever that means.  So guess if you need to contact anyone using hushmail, use the phone for now!  GRRRRRR

I read on Hushmails website they are working thru it.  Here is the latest message from Hush mail.

Mon. Nov 9, 4:55 PM Pacific Time: Access from desktop email software or smartphone applications (POP, IMAP and SMTP) will be unavailable for the time being due to the ongoing incident. Email delivery (incoming and outgoing) will be delayed by several hours this evening.

Just practice simple e-mail rules:
Dont open suspious e-mails
Dont open attachments from unknown sources
And if it sounds to good to be true...........delete it.

Basically keep your antivirus up-to-date and play safe

I just read your post and checked my e-mail with not a single problem.

Got a few e-mails since my last check yesterday around 3:00 p.m.

A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack means that the attackers are bombarding Hushmail's servers with junk Internet traffic, overloading the servers and preventing them from handling or responding to legitimate traffic, such as users' login attempts or the delivery of messages. A DDoS attack does not necessarily jeopardize the security of your data in and of itself, although sometimes attackers will conduct a DDoS attack as a diversion from another type of attack, e.g. one that actually does compromise your data. In this case, though, the group that has been attacking Hushmail and several other secure email providers is the Armada Collective, which has been trying to extort money from these companies in return for stopping the attacks, which costs those companies even more money than the attackers demand because the attacks disrupt their services and cause them to lose business.
