from yesterday BITCOIN transactions are taking time

are you feeling or just normal

or due to yesterday blockchain.info status ?

My transactions have been flowing as usual. What fee are you using? are you using the suggested fee as you should? Im using Bitcoin Core, and it suggest a default fee, I have always used this fee and I have never had any problems of transactions taking too long. What wallet are you using? maybe you are setting a fee that is way too low and it has problems to complete the transaction.
If you are talking about blockchain (the website) then just use another wallet.

AFAIK a blockchain attack is going on:

There is a DOS attack against the blockchain going on right now. It's causing transactions to take longer than usual to confirm.

In order to pull of the attack, the attacker has to pay a higher than average transaction fee. They will eventually run out of money and the attack will stop, but in the meantime you can send your transactions with higher fees to make sure that your transactions get confirmed instead of the attacker's (this will have the added benefit of forcing the attacker to spend through their bitcoins even faster to maintain the attack).

Another attack...last 6 blocks (edit: and counting) have been hit.

Example: #385910 with 19125 fake sigOps. The block is only 200KB despite a 5MB backlog (according to tradeblock). It seems this attack is very effective.

Edit:
#385911 unaffected (enough high-fee legit txs)
#385912 = 18990 fake sigOps, 280KB.
#385913 = 18945 fake sigOps, 281KB.
#385914 = 17325 fake sigOps, 470KB.
...etc.

Blockchain.info has nothing to do with the BTC blockchain. There is an ongoing spam attack, so to confirm you need to pay a higher fee right now, thats all.
