We now know that the people behind the denial of service attack against this blog earlier today are also behind a denial of service attack against our Find It free online classifieds website today. Find It is hosted on a different server in a different state. That the same party is attacking two seeming externally unrelated but under common ownership sites is evidence that the attacked are targeted against us specifically and not the result of random internet crime.

UPDATE: (14:24) We have reported the matter to the Australian Federal Police and to the Australian High Tech Crime Centre. We have also been in contact with the Panama based company which issues the IP address to someone claiming to be in St Petersberg Russia from where the attack aparently came.
