Twitter Downtime Due To DDoS Attack
by Andy on Aug.06, 2009, under Twitter
As we all know, as of this morning Twitter experience about 2 hours of downtime due to a Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. The members of the online imageboard community 4chan.org have claimed responsibility although no one knows for sure who did it. Keeping in mind that Twitter has had a multitude of security problems lately this attack proves that it the downtime was not on their end, but caused by someone with malicious intent.
But who has it in for Twitter? Who knows, this attack could have been by anyone or any organization. For now, Twitter needs to beef up security and figure out who did this.
