DDoS attacks are pretty hard to prevent... With a botnet big enough you can take down any site or server.

Thankfully they are relatively harmless and unimpressive, a DDoS attack is little different than just having a bunch of people go to a website and hit the refresh button until the site crashes.

Well good, we're back in business!

Not server related but I think everyone should do this just to be safe. As you might know the idiots at Lulzsec decided to post 62,000 username-password combinations. This is getting ridiculous and needs to be checked on.
There is a script to check if yours was included here:

This website will tell you if they have leaked your account.
Someone from Reddit added all the emails from the 62k list.

Thanks Yotta, now I know I'm safe.

Yeah that helps. Not sure if Mojang will retrieve your account if you email them, so this is good. Thanks Yotta.
