Out of the terrible darkness that brings forth monsters like MyDoom e-mail worm, MyDoom.O,"DoubleClick Inc. suffered a DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack Tuesday that knocked out its popular online ad-serving service and its own corporate Web site for several hours, the company has confirmed."
