Twitter suffers a Denial of Service attack
6 Aug2009
Just a few minutes back, I shared with you guys about the unfortunate event of not being able to access twitter. Well the reason we were not able to access Twitter was because it was facing a denial of service attack. The news was collected straight from Twitter.They said:
We are defending against a denial-of-service attack, and will update status again shortly.
Just now Twitter has posted a update and has brought the good news that the site is back up. They said
The site is back up, but we are continuing to defend against and recover from this attack.
Well uptill now I have not been able to access Twitter. But I am hopeful that I would have twitter running on my browser very soon.
