I wonder if it is being ddos'd in an effort to move/convert the 43K bitcoins that allegedly went missing from Instawallet? I'm trying to figure out if there is an advantage to be gained by having them offline for that or not.

They got ddos'd last week too. I think they're mostly just a big shiny target.

How do you do this if MtGox is down?

Should I ask you bothered to link to a site that is under DDoS rather then simply doing a text blurb?...
