The last two weeks have been hard for the Arch Project, which has been experiencing a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack, causing service outages for the popular Linux distribution as documented by Arch maintainer Cristian Heusel in a recent update.

Heusel's post states, "The Arch Linux Project is currently experiencing an ongoing denial of service attack that primarily impacts our main webpage, the Arch User Repository (AUR), and the Forums."
