Bits are working. Problems being reported worldwide so appears to be a DDOS

I'll be honest when I read the thread title I thought it must be user error. Especially as I'd done my ritual scan through the BBC News app on my tablet not long before.

I can see why there was apparently so much speculation as I'd have thought there couldn't be any single point of failure for all those BBC services.

It was a DOS attack - I thought that BBC would be using Windows by now ?

Well the BBC journalists say it was.
But the BBC techies haven't either accepted or denied it yet.

Where would you expect to see them say anything? You surely wouldn't be accepting Rory Cellan-Jones as an authoritative source :eek:.
