In case you do not know, the support forum for complainterator hosted at http://thecarpcstore.com/phpbb2/ is currently down due to a massive DDoS attack. This is the second time spammers have DDoSed complainterator forums. On a positive side, this shows what an enormous effect complainterator reports are having in shutting down spammer's websites. Good job complainterator! You rock!

Am I seeing this correctly? Did someone really manage to hack into google's servers? Some of google's popular websites such as gmail, Orkut seem to be down. I assume it is a temporary problem (a DDOS attack?). Whatever it is, it is impressive to see some non-english garbage on these popular websites.

Oh, I almost forgot, here are the screenshots for posterity :-)
