“Ghash.io has not yet replied to requests for comments, but bitcoiners speculated that Ghash.io was DDos-ed due to ongoing concerns over their share of hashrate distribution.  Although the decrease in hashrate may only be temporary, the DDos may act as a warning, not only to Ghash.io, but to all pools who may gain too great a share of the hashrate distribution to the point where the decentralized nature of bitcoin is placed in danger as it is likely that income would have been lost during the DDos period which may cause miners to reconsider whether they wish to partake in a pool that seems to be at the frontline of criticism.”
