It's not a common occurrence. Sometimes it can happen by accident, but it's more likely this was a targeted attack. We actually get quite a few hack attempts every month; this is just one that succeeded in knocking the site offline for a few minutes. There was no server breach though; this was just a LOT of traffic to the server meaning regular requests weren't getting through.
