What a disaster. 

Try to visit Twitter. You can't!

This better get back up by the time the games start tonight. Appartently there were two waves of DDoS attacks by some morans with nothing better to do.

This appears to be using the same system that popped up about a week ago.  This isn't your bog standard DDoS.  They are using an unprecedented level of bandwidth via exploited "IoT" devices.  The post mortem when Krebs on Security was hit had peak bandwidth of > 600 Gb/s.  And these aren't you typical script kiddie syn fload attacks.  These new botnets are sending constant streams of real requests making filtering significantly more difficult. 

So these new attacks are so big they are overwelming full on trunks and much more advanced making filtering more difficult.

And we won't go near Twitter.



1. It's for morons with no attention span and low household incomes.



2. Seriously, what year is it.



But go ahead and follow what famous people who shouldn't be famous rant about.

Meh, twitter is worthwhile if you want to follow actual news events due to multiple international verifiable sources (having to parse through the nonsense of course).

Wikileaks alone is worth using twitter.

Also easy on the class-warfare stuff, we don't exactly live in an unexploitative country last time anyone checked.
