The Blog Herald reports that a denial of service attack hit several WordPress.com blogs on October 27, and even VIP users like the GigaOM Network were not spared.

There’s no official word on any of the WordPress/Automattic blogs, only a tweet from @wordpressdotcom and a post entitled “Anatomy of a Denial of Service Attack”.
