I'm assuming a Ddos attack.

Neowin isn't the only one. Look at this graph from one of my servers. Someone apparetly decided using it for DOS'ing was a good idea. They were attacking some brazian BNC service. Gotta love script kiddies :rolleyes:

Actually, it appears in this case some brazillian kid was trying to bring down (or at least slow) a BNC service. So he may have been trynig to **** off someone on IRC. All that fuss over an internet chat room. Some people need to go outdoors...
