Akamai Attack?

WinNetMag"Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo!, went offline yesterday because of an electronic attack on Akamai"
Was I asleep all last week? Why didn't this hit my radar? Did it make a splash at all?
Dave makes the point that perhaps the weblog.com hosting migration was blown out of proportion by some. I agree.
But this? Nary a whisper as far as I can tell.
Odd. (well, perhaps not...)
