hol writes: Linode has been getting hit with DDoS attacks since Christmas Day, and it looks like their pain is set to continue. The attackers are rotating DDoS traffic through various regions of Linode's service. They say, "All of these attacks have occurred multiple times. Over the course of the last week, we have seen over 30 attacks of significant duration and impact. As we have found ways to mitigate these attacks, the vectors used inevitably change. As of this afternoon, we have mostly hardened ourselves against the above attack vectors, but we expect more to come. ... Once these attacks stop, we plan to share a complete technical explanation about what has been happening." See their status page for updates.

Since your Google appears to be broken
https://www.linode.com/
They are a "Cloud Hosting" company. Which makes the recent events quite the Lulz.

If you were any sort of geek you'd have heard of server hosting service Linode, especially with your UID.
Turn your card in and GTFO, please.
