Poloniex started having trouble when the number of users online jumped from about 20,000 to 30,000 very suddenly as the altcoin bubble was building.
So it might not be a DDOS - it might simply be that they grew by 50% in about a week, their servers couldn't handle it, and what they thought was a DDOS was actually their new users trying to log in and continually refreshing to get in.
People: Spread your trading around, don't just pile into one exchange, it's too risky (and you create problems when the exchange isn't ready to handle the extra traffic). Bittex and hitbtc have a lot of alts you can trade. You can trade ether and stellar lumens on Kraken. Litecoin can be traded pretty much on any exchange, same goes for ether and doge.
Don't do all your trading on one exchange, it's risky.
