Host For Many Blogs Was Under Attack
Many readers couldn’t get onto some of their favorite blogs (many of them conservative) today due to a hack attack (which doesn’t refer to writing on blogs but an attack on the host, to clarify to the uninitiated).
The operative theory: it was done by an Islamist group.
Details here, here and here. Note: Read the links in each of those posts. Memeorandum has some more links here.

It’s really naive to think that the origin of the IP address has anything to do with the identity of the attackers.
It’s really paranoid to think that this is ‘an Islamist group’ instead of a lone hacker.
It’s really self-aggrandazing to think that this is anti-American ‘jihad’ rather than some highly specific, personal dispute against one single blog.
Flash at Centrisity, who’s friends with several prominent conservative bloggers, had a funny take on it.
“Someone) once noted that having Powerline, Ed and Instapundit all on the same server is like leaving all the P-40s lined up wingtip to wingtip at Pearl Harbor.”
Blog Harbor, anyone?
