## From the page (probably an excerpt, not Jamie's words)

Over the twelve days between December 25th and January 5th, Linode saw more than a hundred denial-of-service attacks against every major part of our infrastructure, some severely disrupting service for hundreds of thousands of Linode customers.  I’d like to follow up on my earlier update by providing some more insight into how we were attacked and what we’re doing to stop it from happening again.
