Twitter Shut Down After Denial of Service Attack
If you’ve been wondering why your favourite micro-blogging site hasn’t been letting you share your daily routine with the world, it’s because Twitter has been temporarily taken offline after what the company believes is a co-ordinated attack.
According to the Twitter Blog, the site has been the victim of a Denial of Service Attack, which involved the company’s servers being flooded with data in order to disable them.
Twitter has been down since this morning, but the geographic reach of the site’s downtime is still not clear.
While Twitter has come back online for a lucky few, it is still down for the majority of users including myself, which is unfortunate as I’ve been dying to see everyone’s 160 character thoughts on Twitter being offline.
