[LM_NET] GEN: Turnitin attacked in DoS attack

[Carol Simpson <Carol_Simpson@UNT.EDU>]

I just received this from Turnitin.com:

<snip> Turnitin.com is currently experiencing a Denial of Service
attack which  
may result in users experiencing issues when attempting to access the 

service. Our IT department is diligently working with Cisco and our  
ISP providers to resolve the issue. We do understand that this is an  
important time of year for many of our users and apologize for any  
inconvenience this unexpected downtime may cause you, your faculty or 

your students. <snip>

Sounds like the geek empire strikes back!
