I’ve been using Feedly as my main RSS feed reader for several months now, having tried several other alternatives to the now-defunct Google Reader.

Unfortunately, as I write this, Feedly is down. A Denial of Service (DoS) attack began when the site’s operators refused to pay extortionists to avoid the attack.

Feedly staff are working with their Internet Service Provider to mitigate the attack and hope to have service restored soon.

Graham Cluely has more.

Update 2014Jun12: Feedly seems to be back up and running normally. Feedly: 1; Internet extortionists: 0.
