  Is wordpress still getting hit by the DDoS attacks? I can’t seem to load my blog. Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  THe good news is, your site is fine. Here in Canada I can see it perfectly.

  The bad news is, a lot of people are having this problem. It appears to be ISP related, so if I were you I’d contact your internet service provider.

  It’s not just my site, anything wordpress takes a VERY long time to load, if it even loads. My site will not load at all. . leatricea.wordpress.com

  Yes, the attacks are ongoing. We’re working to block them when they hit.

  WordPress is currently experiencing a DDoS attack. This will affect lots of things.

  We’re working on it guys! It’s not the nicest thing. :(

  We’ll try to keep updates coming. Sites may load slowly or sporadically while we are working on the problem.

  You can work around it a little by using the HTML editor, not the Visual editor, to add links.

  Hiya, just to let you know that access to my site/dashboard is quite sporadic. I am in Singapore, if that’s helpful.

  @notabilia Yes, there was a lot of trouble for that location. We are working to fix it as soon as we can.

  The DDoS itself has subsided from this morning, but there still may be related issues.

  For those still having trouble (especially from Singapore), what do you see when you try to load WordPress.com? Exact error messages and/or a screenshot would be great.

  I’m from Singapore and this is what I see:

  The webpage at http://agentbotak.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=stats might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
  Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): Unknown error.
