Twitter is Down
Twitter is Down this morning after a “denial of service” attack. Facebook has also been slow. So no worries, your computer is ok!
On Twitter’s corporate blog Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter said:
“On this otherwise happy Thursday morning, Twitter is the target of a denial of service attack. Attacks such as this are malicious efforts orchestrated to disrupt and make unavailable services such as online banks, credit card payment gateways, and in this case, Twitter for intended customers or users. We are defending against this attack now and will continue to update our status blog as we continue to defend and later investigate.”
Twitter seems to be back up and working now, but this of course has been one of the longest outages of twitter in the last few months.
