Last month our site was knocked out for about 5 days due to our blogging service TypePad being hit with a massive DDoS attack. After that episode an emergency back-up plan was drawn-up never thinking that we'd actually have to use it so soon. Yesterday, exactly one month after the first attack, TypePad was hit again knocking out our service. This is a persistent and highly sophisticated attacker and there's a good chance that our service could once again be disrupted this week. Should that occur today during granted patent day, you'll still be able to read our new patent reports over at "Patently Apple Xtra" or patentlyapplextra.com. We'll be posting our reports on Patently Apple as usual and only using our emergency site should our service go down. Reports sent to Patently Apple Xtra may eventually be reposted on our main site at a later time for reference purposes. As always, thanks for supporting Patently Apple. Cheers!
