On the Internet, a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is one in which a multitude of compromised systems attack a single target, thereby causing denial of service for users of the targeted system. The flood of incoming messages to the target system essentially forces it to shut down, thereby denying service to the system to legitimate users. A hacker (or, if you prefer, cracker) begins a DDoS attack by exploiting a vulnerability in one computer system and making it the DDoS "master." It is from the master system that the intruder identifies and communicates with other systems that can be compromised. The intruder loads cracking tools available on the Internet on multiple -- sometimes thousands of -- compromised systems. With a single command, the intruder instructs the controlled machines to launch one of many flood attacks against a specified target. The inundation of packets to the target causes a denial of service.
While the press tends to focus on the target of DDoS attacks as the victim, in reality there are many victims in a DDoS attack -- the final target and as well the systems controlled by the intruder.

Power outage apparently. this was posted over at www.pocketfives.com:
Cake Network down-time status - Friday, February 26th
Hi folks -
So, it turns out that our game server facility, Cyberluck, is down with a power outage. That's taken quite a few other gaming companies (e.g. Pinnacle Sports) offline as well.
Obviously, it's an all-hands-on-deck situation down there and we're on the phone pretty much constantly with the people there. We're doing everything we can.
This sucks, of course, and we apologize for the hassles.
Best regards,

No need to panic. I have a good chunk of change there, i'm not worried. It's happened before, but never this long.
