I use them as was affected on Sunday. Had a very nice customer that
actually tried 3 times to sign up but the process failed during because of
authorize.net not responding. They sent me an email. I changed out system
to accept "Invoice Later" and she signed up. Most customers would have
walked away and signed up with someone else. I'm sure many hosts lost
business because of this DDOS.

I have been able to process all charges yesterday and today. Don't think
the DDOS is still goin on or they have mitigated the effects.

Its not a continuous outage. We've been able to process fine for several
hours and then they will be down again for 1/2 hour or so. So, while you
might think you're not losing any sales...you may still be. We had another
gateway added to our merchant account yesterday, but will switch back to
Authorize.net as soon as things stable.

There's a message about the attacks once you log in to their site.

Very true... hard to tell how many sales we have lost if any.
