    Default WooThemes under attack

    Apparently Woothemes.com has been being hit by a DOS attack for the past 24 hours!

    Why on earth someone would want to attack a terrific site like that is beyond me. Can't they find a more worthy site to attack?

    More info. available here ... http://demo.woothemes.com/dos/



    According to @themewarrior, templatic.com is also under attack:

    Not sure what gain is accomplished by taking down a commercial theme site other than bragging rights. Not much to brag about in my opinion. Glad the attacks have subsided.
