Blogging platform provider Six Apart suffered a denial-of-service attack May 2 that limited access to several of its services for about 12 hours.

The attack, which began around 7 p.m. EDT, caused intermittent and limited availability for TypePad, LiveJournal, TypeKey, sixapart.com, movabletype.org and movabletype.com.

Six Apart reported that the sites were stable as of 7 a.m. EDT.

“Our network operations staff is working around the clock with our Internet access providers to resolve the issue,” read a statement from Six Apart.

An e-mail from a Six Apart representative noted that Six Apart has maintained 99.99 percent uptime recently. Six Apart published an update pageto inform people of service status.
