Pretty much the entire Boston-Atlanta Metropolitan Area, in fact:
Major websites and services across the East Coast were shut down for two hours Friday morning by a denial of service attack.
Domain host company Dyn said the attack started at 7:10 a.m. and lasted for more than two hours.
It affected Dyn’s Managed Domain Name System infrastructure, which serves companies including Amazon, Twitter, Spotify and CNBC.com.
…and a bunch of other sites, too. Just going after site redirects instead of personal info, fortunately. Still, it was interesting (also: infuriating) to see what got hammered by the attack.
Actually, Twitter has been working for me right up until Noon. Odd.
In fact, says it is down for everyone (right now).
This attack looks like it hit East and West America and Europe. I give you two on who did this and both might be right.
Still going on too. I’ve been unable to get anything on Netflix to stream, and Amazon’s services are alternating between “fine” and “It’s 1997 and here’s a 240p video.”
All I saw in Atlanta was pretty much Disqus having problems, but then again I don’t really do social media.
