World Pay returns to service

I've been back into WorldPay this evening, and everything is working fine for the moment at least.

There's also an e-mail in my inbox from WorldPay, stating that normal services are 80% resumed:

Most customers now have normal access to our payment and administration systems while some may still be experiencing intermittent access.

Although the attack has been sustained for several days, we have been able to process more than 80% of the payments we would normally process. However, with this type of attack, different customers will be affected at different times and to varying degrees. We continue to combat the attack and mitigate its impact, but cannot at this point predict when our service will be restored without further interruption.

Please advise your customers to try again if a first attempt to make payment does not succeed.

The story made the BBC news website as well:
