DDOS Attack Steam

What's up with this reported DDOS attack on Steam yesterday amd today? Pretty much messed up Steam across the board. On my end Steam loaded just fine as did TSC. All of it working normally. Was the attack booted or could Steam still have issues for the next few days?

Steam has a vast resilient infrastructure. I doubt any DOS attack can bring him on its knees.

Steam as well as several other gaming platforms as well as other video distributing platforms were disrupted. The Aisuru botnet is believed to be responsible. Lasted about 2 hours . Most reporting back to normal.

I saw it on Trainsim.com. Checked the internet to confirm and many of the gaming sites were talking about it.

Checking the internet is about as reliable as asking ABCCBSCNNMSNBCNBCNYTWaPo for the facts. !!**sorry**!!

Kman is correct. Steam was down for about 30 minutes.
