DoubleClick spokeswoman Jennifer Blum said the attack targeted the
company's domain name servers (DNS) -- machines that help direct
Internet traffic -- causing "severe service disruptions" for all 900 of
its customers. Blum said the outage was caused by a distributed
denial-of-service attack, in which hackers use the firepower of
thousands of hijacked computers to flood a Web site with so many bogus
Web page requests that it renders the site unavailable to legitimate
users.

The FBI is not investigating the incident because DoubleClick has not
filed a report, said bureau spokeswoman Megan Baroska.
