There don't seem to be many details around that describe the DDOS attack
on Akamai yesterday (I was hoping that by today it would be clear what had
happened).  The Register gives the background -
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/06/15/akamai_goes_postal/ - and Netcraft
has similar info -
http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2004/06/15/ddos_attack_cited_in_akamai_outage.html
- while also pointing to a similar attack in May -
http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2004/05/24/akamai_network_problems_disrupt_numerous_sites.html
 But I can't find any attribution / details.

The register also has a summary of the weblogs.com mess -
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/06/15/winer_weblog_wipeout/ - but I
don't have any explanation of why lambda - http://lambda.weblogs.com - is
still around (when it's not down due to other problems).
