Twitter Attack!

Filed under: Achievements, Technology — Cyril @ 2:34 pm

Oh no, looks like Twitter has finally met its match with a DOS attack. Let’s be honest . . . once it is up it’s going to be about people griping about the site being down anyways. 

NEW YORK — A hacker attack shut down Twitter today, and Facebook also said it was “looking into” possible site problems.

Twitter said in its status blog that it was “defending against a denial-of-service attack,” in which hackers command scores of computers to a single site at the same time, preventing legitimate traffic from getting through.

For users of the fast-growing messaging service, the outage means no tweeting about lunch plans, the weather — or the fact that Twitter is down.
