Yahoo! mail is down!!

Since morning today I have been having trouble in getting to my Yahoo! email. Not that there is anything critical I am expecting or have to send (I have other email addresses which I can use to send), but not being able to check email is one of the most frustrating things in modern life. Even though I get mostly junk emails (nobody writes to me!!! ^_--) but still...

At this point I am not sure whether Yahoo! is a victim of a DoS attack or simply their servers have gone down big time. I first tried it before I left for work at around 7:45 am and it was not working as it is still down even as I write. Yahoo! home page is working, so I suppose that it is just the email and IM servers are experiencing problems. I tried other services, like maps and they are working. Apparently anything that needs login is not working (though Yahoo! photos loaded fine albeit slowly).

In today's time when freebies are everywhere I am not sure that Yahoo! can really afford to keep their servers and services down for so long. Or maybe they have not noticed it yet. Then that would be even more dangerous.
