What I like most, is that all people click on the link although it says "It's unavailable". Wondering if this has an additional effect on the availability.

- dan00 16y agoPerhaps that's the reason why it's unavailable. ;)
- xd 16y agoMaybe that's the DDOS in action .. post news to as many high traffic news sites as possible (/., reddit, hn, etc) that paypal is down with a direct link to paypal in the title and bingo.
- nikster 16y agoNah, no way. PayPal wouldn't go down from a few 10k additional hits. PayPal is huge, and needs 100% uptime, and in addition to that has undoubtedly prepared for a major DDOS attack. They have unlimited resources, they have expertise, and they've seen it coming. If Anonymous can take PayPal down, then they can take anyone down.
