We are aware of the problem and we are currently investigating the origin of the problem.
So far we think it might be a DDoS attack.
Is that a worm or virus??!!
oh god.. learn something please.
a DDoS attack is an organized attack against a computer that involves several other computers (usually hundreds)
What it pretty much does is ping the IP so much so often with so many computers that the server/computer is simply not able to take the work load and just dumps all information, or crashes.
In the case of dumping it would just ignore everything that requires loading something big e.g. pic.
And a crash is simply a crash.
DDoS attacks are prohibited and can if traced back be taken to court.
