Denial of Service Attack. Basically, someone sent thousands, perhaps tens or hundreds of thousands of maybe login requests (guessing there as I am also a laymen but just saw the documentary of how Anonymous came to be) in an hour. It can't hurt you as a user.

I should upload it to documentaries as it taught me a lot. Go to documentaries in a few minutes if you want to watch it. It was very interesting for the laymen.

Its more likely that a group of people used a UDP spoof to direct traffic to the voat servers, rather than attempts to log in.
