WordPress.com Suffers Largest DDoS Attack In Its History

You have no idea how hard it was to get this post up, as Wordpress.com, our blog host, is currently under a denial of service attack. It's been almost impossible to access the TechCrunch backend for the past 10 minutes (everything seems to be stable now) and users have been receiving a "Writes to the service have been disabled, we will be bringing everything back online ASAP" error message. From the VIP blog post:

WordPress.com is currently being targeted by a extremely large Distributed Denial of Service attack which is affecting connectivity in some cases. The size of the attack is multiple Gigabits per second and tens of millions of packets per second.
