2013-03-05: Raspberry Pi Foundation DDoS

Level One Event

Update

The Raspberry Pi foundation has done an interview with The Inquirer regarding the attack.

Original Report

The @Raspberry_Pi twitter feed indicated that there have been a few denial-of-service attacks against their website in the past few days. They say that the attacks are unusually strong in nature (TCP SYN flooding, it sounds like), and they theorize that it is expensive for the attacker to sustain the attack for long periods.

Today's outage was approximately 30 minutes. I will update with a blog or forum post if one is forthcoming; additionally, if the event turns out to have been expensive for Raspberry Pi, this might get upgraded to a Level Two Attack.
