Is there any global DDos attack?
Perhaps I'm missing something?

I think "IT" is happening, If this takes off the whole government\political system will fail, So they attack now, I also think it explains most of the unknown portion of pie, and yes i am a conspiracy theorist.

EMC does tend to go down on it's own quite often.

Script kiddies have better things to do with slave machines than DDOS bitcoin. Also, ignoring the fact that Bitcoin is a threat to special interest groups thus making it a target for attacks, is short sighted.

The only "better" thing script kiddies have to do between DDOSing is jacking off in front of 4chan in their mom's basement.

When was EMC down?  I did not get any notifications... was the website down or the pool server?

Reading several threads, it almost seems as if it were only limited to some people, leading me to believe there was a backbone router somewhere that might have went tits up.
