It's quite likely that's what happened.

Its DoS not DDoS
Standing for Denial of Service.
Meaning they ping the computer lots of times sending lots of information..good enough to shutdown most home PCs but it takes alot of people doing it at once to have any affect on a server...and most basic firewalls can stop them type of attacks..seen as DoS attacks were something going on like 5 years ago.
