From the CNBC Site:

Computer vandals hit 2 more sites


By Bob Sullivan
MSNBC


Feb. 9 — A rash of electronic attacks on
high-profile Web sites continued Wednesday
with early morning assaults that knocked out
E*Trade, an online stock brokerage, and ZDNet,
a leading technology news site. The FBI was
investigating the attacks, which followed similar
assaults on Yahoo, Amazon.com, Buy.com,
CNN and eBay. Security experts fear the siege,
which prevents computer users from viewing the
sites but does not violate the integrity of the
systems themselves, will continue as the
computer vandals pick out new targets.

Of a related nature, last night I was able to "connect" to this site (SI), very barely, but could not pull down information for the slowness of response. This was from about 9:30 PM until after 11PM Eastern Time, at which time I tossed in the towel. Did anyone else have a similar experience?
