www.grc.com got nailed:

   "~ WE WERE UNDER ATTACK ~   At approximately 8:00 PM Pacific Time, a concerted Distributed   Denial of Service (DDoS) attack was initiated against us. The attack   was trivial to block once we made contact with our ISP — but that   took 17 hours! I am preparing a complete analysis and report on   the attack — including the complete IP list of machines which have   had their security compromised for participtation in the attack.   It will be online as soon as possible! "

An interesting article on "Information War" used to be up at the following site, but it looks like they locked it down:
