What evidence do you have of this claim?

Will a press release from the target suffice?

That's from a week ago. Is there any evidence that a DDOS happened today?

DDOS with malicious intent, or does a general usage spike count?

Just try loading mtgox.com -- it's slow. Try using it to trade. Even slower. Service is being denied. Confidence undermined. I would not take this as a vote that once the server issues are resolved, the price will continue to soar, but if I said that, it's possible that later I would be able to "told you so".

a site loading slow is in NO way evidence of DDOS
