Did you actually READ that article? This has already been gone over before..
Quote:
The BBC said that, at this stage, there was no indication that the failure had been caused by such an attack.
Paul Mutton, a security researcher at Netcraft, said that traffic patterns around the BBC site immediately before and after the outage suggested that it was down to a technical failure.
"It did not look like a DDoS. It was a very abrupt outage," he explained.
"Usually there will be an increase in request times [to a website] before a DDoS. Traffic patterns to the BBC site were not typical of an attack," said Mr Mutton.
