status and 
lj_maintenance say that some craxx0rbitches with half-decent skillz got some zombies together and started nibbling away at LJ. Shotguns have been rounded up, and LJ staff is cheerily blasting away. The undead should be cleared out of here in a while, but meanwhile hang tight.
Some liberties have been taken with the actual technical details, but that's what it boils down to. Sort of.
[Edit: Wow, http://status.livejournal.org was down too? Yikes.]
