[snip]

The Star Tribune was hit with a “denial-of-service” computer attack
early Thursday that cut employees off from Web browsing and e-mail for
about 10 hours. It also delayed updates to startribune.com.

The attack against the Star Tribune began at 3 a.m. Thursday, and service
was restored about 1:30 p.m. when incoming network traffic was blocked by
Onvoy Inc., the Star Tribune’s Internet service provider.
