Strangely, "DU" is among the liberal and other sites this compares it to:

Just FYI in case the outage isn't due to upgrading:
Denial-of-service attack || Legality - Wikipedia

Many jurisdictions have laws under which denial-of-service attacks are illegal.
In the US, denial-of-service attacks may be considered a federal crime under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act with penalties that include years of imprisonment. [93] The Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section of the US Department of Justice handles cases of (D)DoS.
In European countries, committing criminal denial-of-service attacks may, as a minimum, lead to arrest.[94] The United Kingdom is unusual in that it specifically outlawed denial-of-service attacks and set a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison with the Police and Justice Act 2006, which amended Section 3 of the Computer Misuse Act 1990.[95]
On January 7, 2013, Anonymous posted a petition on the whitehouse.gov site asking that DDoS be recognized as a legal form of protest similar to the Occupy protests, the claim being that the similarity in purpose of both are same.[96] [97]

iirc, the Anonymous .gov petition didn't fly. Footnotes:

#96. "Anonymous DDoS Petition: Group Calls On White House To Recognize Distributed Denial Of Service As Protest". HuffingtonPost.com. 2013-01-12.
#97. "DDOS Attack: crime or virtual sit-in?". RT.com. YouTube.com. October 6, 2011.

I'm pleasantly shocked the USG takes it that seriously -- suspect there's little enforcement, because after all what does it have to do with fighting Al Qaeda? Plus a lot of cyber crime originates in Israel, and as LBJ said on June 8, 1967, "we're not going to embarrass our friends".
