The BBC web sites are down.

[Markymark]

Either a DDOS or their web servers are in the basement of one of their nice new buildings in the north west of England and its a PDOS (where the P indicates an unusually excessive amount of rain).

Ah yes, northerners are now in charge, forgot that......

Just announced on the 12 o'clock news it was deliberate cyber attack, why do people do it, just to show off the size of their small penis?

No one has blabbed on TheReg yet, won't take long though I reckon.

The motive can be anything from notoriety, blackmail to distraction whilst another attack is executed. The capacity of the Beeb would lead me to believe this had significant backing, and a financial or political motive.

You never know though.

Oh good.

I wonder if Zaphod wasn't the only to survive the Total Perspective Vortex.

I'd say you've got it covered. My money is on a distraction or someone overseas being annoyed with the Beeb.

Has the BBC upset the Israelis lately? Or Putin?

Probably both and maybe the CIA, MI5 & 6 and Corbin's shower just for good measure.
