Internet Down (massive outages west and east coasts)

Twitter, Spotify and Reddit, and a huge swath of other websites were down or screwed up this morning. This was happening as hackers unleashed a large distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on the servers of Dyn, a major DNS host. It’s probably safe to assume that the two situations are related.

I saw a post on Twitter just before I lost thee feed that showed the Embassy where Assange was under attack? Spoof? Anyone else see it?

This site can’t be reached

twitter.com’s server DNS address could not be found.
Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.

I can’t hit the FreeRepublic, says something about a DNS issue, can anybody help, I’m not kidding, the FR is down and I don’t know what to do ...

Are you logged in? Do you have a stuned beeber?

[Hulka]

Could be.

Could be an attempt to shut-down the “internet” to stop or slow damaging info on hitlery. . .turning over the internet to an international body. . .what could go wrong?

The maps are particularly interesting.

The web feels pretty snappy here in the DFW metroplex. Perhaps it’s all the east and west coasters who can’t get on it. I probably should enjoy it while I can.

I can still, for now, get to twitter. This is what Mike Cernovich tweeted a few minutes ago:

Twitter is how Wikileaks spread, hoaxing media covers up. If Russians control Wikileaks (no), why shut down Twitter? This is a false flag.

I don’t do twitter or FB so I can’t follow you.

Anything messing with the internet is a bad thing.

[Black Agnes]

You betcha.

But hey, on another thread, grammer and spelling are more important.

The internet may be dead, but it will be grammatically correct!

My Comcast Internet has been running great all day here in SW Pennsylvania. Keep my fingers crossed.

[jessduntno]

The maps show spot outages in TX. You got the high ground, I guess!

Still can’t get some of my favorite football sites.

This may be a disruption to cover another op. Watch the periphery carefully.

“Are you logged in? Do you have a stuned beeber?”

Beeber checks out. FR and all the other websites I usually go to are down. I was commenting about the Wikileaks message that showed armed gunmen rolling up on the embassy where Assange was hiding, then I lost the feed.
