Well once the server is set up then there are very little chances of the server getting an internal error. Since LR was working fine before chances of DDoS attacks have a greater probability.
I think what the internal errors that poor mentioned here, is the server hardware or network errors, like those hard disk failure, or network swithches damaged that will also causing a server to be inaccessible.
Yes that can be a reason but then those would not hack the accounts which has been a recent issue of Liberty Reserve. And in the event of such failures the site would be down for quite some time and not be coming up and going down frequently.
