Gamespy flood from 75.102.34.20 this morning

These traffic floods seem to come in waves (no pun intended). My interpretation is that one of the following has occurred:

[1] A new script for disrupting game servers was posted on some hacking site and a bunch of different script kiddies started using it. Likelihood: doubtful.

[2] The admins of several different server monitoring services updated their software to a new version and the new version is buggy. Likelihood: likely.

[3] TPU is being targeted specifically by several separate but coordinated attackers. Likelihood: doubtful.

[4] The disruption to TPU is just collateral damage in a DDoS attack that is actually targeted at a different server. In fact, the intended target may be one of the IPs listed above. Likelihood: very likely.

I'm sure there are other possibilities but those are the ones that come to mind.
