Xin Net, the world’s largest registrar of Chinese domain names, suffered an 8-hour attack yesterday that lasted from 4:00pm until 12:00am.

During that time period, 30% of the names registered through Xin Net could not be accessed normally.

The company put out an official reply expressing regret to all of its customers in a three-part memo (my shorthand):

1) Rotten hackers

2) Working furiously to restore

3) No refunds, we are a victim too!
