The big peak is current, and the attack has gone on for a couple of days. Fortunately, that's all cached content that you're seeing there. Unfortunately, I have to pay for that bandwidth. It's not too expensive and I really like the service.
Also good news, the site has barely stumbled, with zero outages. The CPU is getting a lot of use, but RAM is still just above normal, so I don't think they'll get anywhere.
The CDN is showing a bunch of attacks over the past couple of days. It thwarts them, stopping them from actually harming the site. The site is running just fine - thanks to this and some security steps taken when configuring things. That's good. I didn't even know about the attack until I got an email informing me about the increased activity - and cost.
I say it's money well spent. I'm not 100% sure that it's a denial of service attack or if someone's just probing everything with a whole lot of bandwidth. Either way, does this mean I've finally hit the big time?!? LOL Is my site valuable enough to attack? I suppose it's a good thing that I didn't even notice. It means I've done my job well.
