Yesterday, 2011 03 30, the blogging site http://www.livejournal.com came under a DDoS attack.<p>The following item is on their news community:-<p>http://news.livejournal.com/136828.html<p><i>"As many of you know, LiveJournal was the victim of a DDoS attack yesterday, resulting in several hours of downtime.<p>"We appreciate your patience as we work on resolving the remaining issues resulting from yesterday's attack."</i><p>A user of Livejournal myself, its enforced downtime did leave me somewhat perplexed. I am personally glad to see that it has recovered from its ordeal.
