It said that the DDoS attack which hit ProtonMail servers, came in four different attacks.
Since there was no letup between this attacks, the datacenter could not recover from the attack.

That quickly expanded to the datacenter in Switzerland where we have our servers.
In the process of attacking us, several other tech companies and even some banks were knocked offline temporarily.
