I’ve received quite a few emails this morning from people having trouble getting to blogs like Power Line and Captain’s Quarters.
The reason for the problem: Hosting Matters is experiencing a Denial of Service attack. They’re working to block it now.
More info on DoS attacks: Wikipedia: Denial-of-service attack.
UPDATE at 4/28/06 8:43:47 am:
Although LGF is also at Hosting Matters, we were moved to a different network after experiencing a similar attack. (That’s why we’re still up.)
UPDATE at 4/28/06 8:48:17 am:
I may have spoken too soon; some parts of the LGF system are beginning to act a bit flaky.
UPDATE at 4/28/06 9:27:25 am:
The attack reportedly originates in Saudi Arabia.
