An unprecedented deluge of visitors to our website this morning, driven by a link from the colossal Drudge Report to our video of the brutal beating and mugging of a Jewish man during Hurricane Sandy, overwhelmed our servers and caused our news website to be unavailable for most of the day.
At its peak this afternoon, the site was processing hits from over 3,000 visitors per second!
Unaccustomed to such a magnitude of visitors, our servers buckled under the pressure, and we were regretfully unable to provide the Crown Heights and greater Chabad community with the up-to-date news and information which they have come to rely upon for most of the day.
We are pleased to announce that as of this evening our hosting providers have fixed the problem, and there are no foreseeable issues with the website going forward.
Thank you for your patience.
