Is this another DDOS attack or are they having technical issues of a different nature ?

Twitter is saying it is a fire -

tjeastmond: Confirmed RT @sfltv: Big power outage at Fisher Plaza in #Seattle due to fire. Teleport and data centers on site are out. #authorize.net

http://search.twitter.com/search?q=authorize.net

Ugg, due to the holiday this is a very slow day for us so it is probably one of the best days of the year for this to happen but it sucks nonetheless

No clue - I can't find any info except everyone saying "#authorize.net is down" on twitter. I even "binged" "authorize.net is down" thinking I would find something but nada

First time I've heard "Binged" used instead of "Googled".

I think the realtime search feature will get them some traction.

I've heard it before, but I favor "bung" (ring/rung...bing/bung).

bing, bang, bung? :)
