DoS Attack Targets WordPress

Posted by Susan Hall Feb 20, 2008 12:16:06 PM

The WordPress.com blog-hosting service experienced a denial-of-service attack from Saturday through Tuesday, though some problems were lingering, reports Computerworld.

 

Matt Mullenweg, spokesman for Automattic, the company that maintains the site, said that, during the attack, the site experienced spikes of up to 6 gigabits of incoming traffic. Some blogs were still inaccessible for five to 15 minutes Tuesday, but Mullenweg said the company was working to return everything to normal.
