MtGox under DOS attack? 26/9/12 12:23am GMT

MtGox is taking forever to load, wonder if its currently being DOSed?

[WikileaksDude]

Mt Gox gets DDoSed almost everyday. They are well protected. Dont worry

[Endgame]

Not protected enough it would seem. They have been down for the last 12 hours or so from here. A Ping test indicates they are down or extremely slow in New York, Sydney, Auckland, Shanghai, and a bunch of other places.

Looks up here/now.

this attempt to disrupt them will fail and backfire.  I will boycott almost every other bitcoin exchange if this continues and will continue to patronize mtgox.  (sure is annoying, though.)

this is a shame because we could use some good, honest competition in this space. 

anyone running a business in this bitconomy should be very concerned when one, even a competitor, is attacked like this.  anyone who has any info or influence on this should apply it to cut this shit out.
