BBC victim of DDoS attack
The BBC website was subjected to a distributed denial of service attack on Thursday, according to a report on The Inquirer.
BBC technical staff speeded up website provision by blocking requests from a limited number of international servers, said the article.
"In a statement to the the Inq, the BBC said the attack originated in a number of different countries but didn't specify which," said the Inq.

That's interesting, Thankfully I managed to get my dr Karl fix on thursday.
Had a lot of problems getting on today though, and it's only just loaded up as I write this, so I'll go get the show you were on now.....
