So, what do we think the basis is for these attacks?

As always, there can be many "reasons" why one would want to attack pools. Because they hate altcoins, or because they want to manipulate network difficulty... who knows.

While I'm here, I'd like to announce that the pool now officially supports Stratum mining.

Most cgminer users have already switched to Stratum automatically, and need not change their configuration. If you're running a version older than 2.10.3, you are strongly encouraged to upgrade.
Miners using cpuminer and/or Reaper are encouraged to use a proxy if running multiple miners in a LAN (instructions are available on the help page).
