Latest update(I didn't bother pasting the whole thing):

 

Investigation into current problems:
Hello,

*UPDATED 10/06 4:00 PM EST*

The second attack against our new servers has been suppressed.

sip.callcentric.com <http://sip.callcentric.com>  and srv.callcentric.com
<http://srv.callcentric.com>  should provide better quality and
functionality and they are being continually monitored. We are still
committed to answering questions and will continue to provide as
timely/detailed support as possible.

With this in mind, we recommend subscribing/following our official Twitter
page (http://www.twitter.com/Callcentric) as we will be posting updates and
additional information as available.

The original attack is still ongoing and we are returning to this issue in
order to attempt to restore normal service across the board. This
investigation process involves deep packet inspection and analysis to
properly diagnose and prevent any other damage.

We sincerely appreciate your patience with us and again apologize for the
inconvenience.

Well, that's just weak.  Let's publish information for some of our clients.
Yeah, the Internets will never find out...  However, they do appear to have
a handle on things right now.  But the botnet is probably at reduced
strength over the weekend.  They are going to have a serious case of the
Mondays if they don't dial it up and get ahead of this thing.

experiencing two different types of DDoS attacks. The new servers
(sip.callcentric.com <http://sip.callcentric.com>
<http://sip.callcentric.com> and srv.callcentric.com
<http://srv.callcentric.com>  <http://srv.callcentric.com>) were meant to
assist in reducing the load and allowing service to operate for some
clients. Unfortunately due to this new information being publicly released,
outside of Callcentric, our new servers have also been affected. As such,
the work-around that we developed and the information provided yesterday
will no longer work.
