WordPress was apparently hit with a denial-of-service attack this morning. Brian Heater at AppScout (re-posted at PC Magazine) says though service has been restored, the company is still working on resolving the issues. He also got a quote from a spokesperson for Automattic (owners of WordPress):
“I think maybe a few blogs were down for just a little while this morning, but most of them were just running a bit slower…We have three data centers. Our system is designed to lose a data center and keep running.”
I guess I was not using WordPress this morning when it went down, but from the sounds of it, it wasn’t down for too long.
Did anyone have trouble this morning?
