WordPress Hit By "Extremely Large" DDoS Attack

(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Open-source blogging platform WordPress (www.wordpress.org) experienced a major DDoS attack on Thursday, according to a report by The Register.
The report says that the attack caused disruptions for many sites reliant on WordPress to post content, including TechCrunch.
TechCrunch reported that Automattic and WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg claimed this attack was the largest he has ever seen and is likely to be politically motivated against one of its "non-English blogs", though there is currently no evidence. Mullenweg went on to say the attack was large enough to impact all three of the company's data centers in Chicago, San Antonio and Dallas.
“WordPress.com is currently being targeted by a extremely large Distributed Denial of Service attack which is affecting connectivity in some cases,” Sara Rosso, a representative of WordPress owner Automatic, said in a statement. “The size of the attack is multiple Gigabits per second and tens of millions of packets per second.”
The statement by Rosso was released at 3:30 p.m. and by 7:30 p.m. the site was at 100 percent, according to a tweet by Lloyd Budd, WordPress.com VIP hosting services lead.
Rosso said that WordPress upstream providers were working "to prevent such attacks from connectivity going forward" and that WordPress would be making its VIP sites a priority in the recovery.
WordPress currently serves 30 million publishers, and is responsible for 10 percent of all websites in the world, according to TechCrunch. WordPress.com has about 300 million unique visits each month.
