Software publisher Automattic, which runs WordPress.com, went down today and took millions of blogs and other websites with it. Sites down were WordPress.com hosted websites, VIP WordPress sites (like Anderson Cooper’s CNN Blog), link shortener WP.me, WordPress.tv, Automattic.com and probably more.
Automattic’s founder Matt Mullenweg’s personal website ma.tt was still online along with other Automattic websites:
* WordPress.org
* bbPress.org
* BuddyPress.org
* Gravatar.com
* PollDaddy.com
WordPress.org software installations on private servers were not affected by the outage. Domain name registrar GoDaddy was attacked with malware on Tuesday (June 8) which infected a number of WordPress installations hosted on them. Today’s problem at WordPress.com was not a security issue according to founder Mullenweg.
