An e-mail from neil this morning says the outage was
probably "a Denial of Service attack against Wordpress.
There were a large number of hanging PHP threads that
caused the server to run out of memory.

The issue wasn't addresses (sic) as quickly as I'd liked as
our monitoring didn't pick anything up as Apache was
responding for quite some time whilst PHP-based sites were
offline.

We blocked the source IP's, and started to kill off the PHP
processes, but in the end it was simpler to perform a
reboot."
