From what I can understand via machine translation, he gives more details on the DDoS attacks and says that it has stopped for the moment, but they are still continuing the mitigation procedures. He also talks about the origin of the attacks, and the wording of the English language message about the DDos, which seems to have upset/confused some Russian speaking users.

[Some of the content in these posts is similar to this post on SUP's official webpage: http://www.sup.com/en/news_359.html]

He also wrote a post about how there were lots of 500 and 503 errors while posting as a side effect of the mitigation. He says that there may be fewer errors when posting with an app using xml-rpc api. (For example, the iphone/ipad/android apps)

This seems to have a scan of an official communication written by SUP. At the end, if google translate is rendering this correctly, he's saying that there will be two weeks compensation for paid users.

Anyone out there who speaks Russian know what the scan says?

The first and the second link are the same and the third link seems to be a post with no scan in it whatsoever? It's just a notice that posting entries is OK again.

Whoops, I messed up the links. This should be the third link.

The scan is the official notice SUP files with Russian police authorities about the DDOS attacks, asking for a criminal investigation. They list the times when the site was down, various evidence such as IP addresses of attackers, the amount of estimated damages (which they've blacked out in the scan), etc. It's their formal letter from their lawyers addressed to a high ranking police official.

Thanks so much for the information!
