DDoS against Twitter

Postby Tomo » Aug 6th, '09, 17:44



Twitter is currently being subjected to a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. Dunno when it'll be back. http://status.twitter.com/post/157160617/site-is-down

A DDoS is when a botnet of computers infected with a botnet virus is ordered to launch a massive and continuous barrage of data at a site to take it off the 'net.
