Slashdot, Sourceforge and Freshmeat all down, virus or a hack attack?

All the sites have been down for hours now, all owned by the same organizat

The irony is, it's one year and one month exactly (April 30th 2008) they all had the same thing, read that day's register's article [theregister.co.uk...] Could it have been a dormant virus suddenly hit them again. Just an observation which is not a coincidence I believe. The thing is, either they are hosted in the same server or the virus spread to the whole cluster.

Seems fine for me.

[freshmeat.net...] Network Timeout
[sourceforge.net...] Network Timeout

Has been for me for hours now, surely it can't be my ISP's IP C block they are banning, could few people confirm.

It may be to do with a UK routing as I am in the UK.

They are back, surely a lot of people must have noticed it, they were down for hours.
