Is MTGox having problems with streaming data?

[MarCoin]

My server can't get BTC-USD data... it seems other services like bitcoin.clarkmoody has the same problem.
It's 3 hours MTGox Market data streaming is off... nice service...

Yes. DDoS, they say.

Plus500 use this source of data... Bad idea and really dangerous for users with open positions that they can't close

Yes. DDoS, they say.

Where do you get updates on this? Support -> no response, twitter, website -> no information, my psychic summoned something that sounded mtgox'y but that does not respond with updates either.

Do they have some place where they actually publish whats going on with their API?

IRC #mtgox

Yes. DDoS, they say.

Whats up with their DDOS protection service?

Goxtool client has been updated to support the pubnub feed from mtgox (which is unaffected by this outage). Google goxtool and get the latest update.
