I just switched when the one I use is under attack.  The one I switched to didn't seem to pay as much though.

Yeah, I've tried all the kinds of pools but no one beats deepbit when it comes to earnings.

It could be done by anyone who wants a competitive advantage in mining.  If you run a solo mining factory, and own a botnet, this would be the thing to do (assuming you are evil).
Even if you aren't evil it's a good idea to prepare for attacks.
Such as not putting all your assets into 1 pot (deepbit or mtgox...etc).
So far, my assets are stuck in one pot. Grin

Well, one who controls the big botnet could control the market?

Anyways, It's probably just a few skids who got pissed because they can't afford to mine. Grin

And what would be the relevance of such an attack?  What are they trying achieve?

Assume i no absolutely nothing about what you mean BTW.
