just to be clear they are calling it a DOS and not a DDOS - it could well be the latter but it could also point to another form of attack.

- simonw 17y agoI'm guessing it was a DDOS due to the amount of time the site was down - if it was coming from a single IP or single IP range they would likely have been able to block it off a lot faster.
- paulgb 17y agoTechCrunch is calling it a DDOS, but as we know accuracy isn't their strong point.
- nomoresecrets 17y agoJust be grateful they're not calling it MSDOS.
- zandorg 17y agoOr 'Doctor' DOS!
- TallGuyShort 17y agoThe traceroute in the article suggests a DDOS, because the network gets progressively slower through several stages in the route - implying that the attacks are coming from multiple locations.
