Update on Twitter Down: Statement from Twitter on denial of service attack
August 6th, 2009 LimauAis denial of service attack“There’s no indication that this attack is related to any previous activities. We are currently 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 defend and later investigate.”
By “previous activities,” Stone is referring to the hacker that stole some of Twitter’s internal documents, including financial forecasts, and published them online. The incident caused a stir, as the blog TechCrunch decided to run with the story. And more updates on the current Twitter outage are on the way.
