Twitter down

Lou Treleaven

Looks like Twitter is down - same denial-of-service attack they had in the US this morning?

Don't ask me what a denial-of-service attack is though!

There's plenty about it online. Hopefully it will return...

The DDoS took out Paypal too, apparently, and lots of other sites. It went for a company called Dyn which lies behind all of them, rather than for the sites themselves. Sneaky.

They'll probably be another one in a few days then.
