As said in another post. We have been targeted too, ( crypto-trade.com ) but they stopped after a 8 giga attack last try until now... SO we didnt been offline and even no laggued as we can support more. Crypto-trade.com dont have cost for DDOS protection as we are Koddos.com however it is a bit scaring for small exchange which couldnt handle cost requiered for such high protection...

I was using Crypto-trade.com the other day. Pretty cool. Deposits via OKpay.

Thanks for the update... I added this to the original post and changed the subject as it appears multiple cryptocurrency exchanges are down.

cryptsy offline here as well ..i'm getting my coins outta there if they come back on...i'll still want to use the site just move them out before i take a nap!..thanks
I'm glad I'm not the only one showing it to be down.  It's probably best not to discuss dumping the coins just in case the site owner is reading these posts as it might not ever come back up (Mysteriously of course).

Offline for me. Been that way all day.

BTER.com too. Sad Sad Sad
What time (and time zone) did you first check? 
I first came across this around 5:30 EST
