does it happen a lot?
i dont know much about hackers can they distroy data from servers or change it some how?
for example:
if a player was a builder or an architect on the World of Minecraft servers is it possible he wont be after the site is up?
just saw he thinks its an attack those idiot hackers hes trying to fix tho

Notch:
minecraft.net is down because of what I believe is an attack.
I’m not sure exactly what’s going on, but minecraft.net appears to
be suffering some kind of attack, and is down at the moment. I’m
working on fixing it.
That sucks...
Looks like a DDoS to me
