❗ Wonder why PayPal, Twitter etc. doesnt work?
If you didnt know:
A *DDoS attack crippled domain name server company Dyn Inc on Friday morning, and a fresh attack started Friday afternoon.
Dyn Inc, which runs domain name servers, said on its website that it was subject to a distributed denial of service, or DDoS, attack. Domain name servers translate website names to the numeric Internet Protocol addresses behind them. Dyn, headquartered in Manchester, New Hampshire, is one of the larger companies in that business.
Major Internet services including Spotify, Twitter, Reddit, Paypal, the PlayStation Network, Netflix, SoundCloud and a number of media websites were difficult or impossible to reach early Friday. Its still not working.
*A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is an attempt to make an online service unavailable by overwhelming it with traffic from multiple sources. They target a wide variety of important resources, from banks to news websites, and present a major challenge to making sure people can publish and access important information.
Cheers
