The DDOS attacks today that affected Facebook, Twitter, Live Journal, You Tube and others was targeted to one person with the username "Cyxym," a pro-Georgian blogger. But the attack led to site-wide outage for some sites and problems for others.
A security officer at Facebook stated the attack was specifically targeted at Cyxym.
The attack was meant to cripple his accounts where he couldn't write and his voice couldn't be heard.
