Cyber attack disrupts Twitter, Netflix, and Spotify service
FOX NEWS TECH ^ | October 21, 2016 | Fox News Tech By Rob Verger

The Internet services company Dyn was hit by a cyber attack Friday, disrupting web traffic on the east coast of the United States, the company reported on its website. A slew of major sites like Twitter, Netflix, and Spotify were affected by what was described as a DDoS, or a distributed denial of service attack, that caused widespread problems across the Internet.

Very early this morning I was groped with inappropriate and unsolicited “Breaking News” from Yahoo on my smartphone that I never subscribed to which pops into my phone in the “notifications” area of my Android, the headline “Trump booed at the (whatever Catholic thing)”.

I am so sick of this, and the phony liberal “news” feeds from Twitter, Facebook, Google, this Yahoo crap, all these one percenters supporting Hillary, I am sick of being groped by all of them.

So I told my wife – this was at 4am this morning – that I once again these **** heads have groped me with their inappropriate, unsolicited, libtard “drive by” that I never subscribed to, and said to her, “I am thinking of launching a denial of service on Google, Facebook, Yahoo, I hate them all”. I didn’t even read the garbage and deleted it and went back to bed after having a glass of milk only to have to get up one hour later.

So this morning I get up to find out there was a massive denial of service attack disrupting Twitter, Netflix, and Spotify, and others, I was hoping Facebook too and Yahoo, they got their spin factory going again, but now there is another one right now and I am happy since I heard Yahoo is also being impacted and I pray Facebook crashes because they are no better than being under the thumb of Communist China. Also I hate all those Facebook idiots and their “positive messages” and “with God I became holier than thou” (I am good, you are bad) nonsense, most of these people are total losers and selfish slobs.

So I pray Facebook gets hit and messed with, I hate the CEO who is a cheap labor suck **** and one percenter benefactor to his “good doggy” establishment Democrats and GOPe Republicans. It is all about wasting your life and controlling the message.

I have a Yahoo email account, I suppose they think that gives them the permission to grop me with this agenda of theirs. I hope they crash today, I am cancelling my email account, I hate them forever now.

I would like to see the total destruction of FB, Twitter, and Google. Fine by me. I know, some will say if Twitter is choked up then Trump cannot tweet as much. But I can get Trump’s stuff other ways, no problem, I am hoping we will have the TNN (Trump News Network) soon. I could easily live without Twitter, who also only feed the agenda as “news”, I only have an account since this election cycle so I can follow Trump, Putin, Modi, Lou Dobbs and Judge Jeanine Pirro, or to insult others. But if Twitter blows up, fine by me.

I suppose we will be told by Hillary “it was the Russians”. Look, I cannot help her just because she is a computer illiterate. Let the games begin. Also, I just ordered my 2017 Putin hugging kittens calendar on eBay. And I am admitting right here, yes I am a Russian agent.

I kind of enjoyed that rant! Especially the Putin Hugging Kittens calendar thing! (I detest Putin, but...the calendar concept made me laugh. Will they have a Stalin hugging kittens calendar???)

Thing is, it could happen anytime, and bigger. Sure, the system is distributed...kind of.

Sorry but I do not agree with you about FB. We had a huge tornado come through here a few years ago. The local TV stations used their FB pages to keep us informed as to where gas stations with power were located, which grocery stores had generators, etc. I kept my phone charged by using my car battery. I do not know what we would have done without it. I went out one time and people were treating each traffic light like 4 ways stops. Worked great. Years ago, another tornado came through this area. It knocked out power to the TV stations. They bought generators and Doppler radars after that. I honestly do not know what we would have done without FB. I get a lot of conservative news on FB, too, plus I keep up with family and friends. FB is what the user makes it.

Couldn’t be a more convenient time for the Internet to go down massively. Right when wikileaks and Project Veritas are exposing the RAT corruption that goes all the way to the top! And beyond!

At the link...LOL!

“Where 11% of Hard Clinton supporters could be dissuaded from voting by a strong storm and 17% would balk at a 90 minute wait, Trump’s strong support only diminishes in the events of catastrophic attacks on America. Some demographics (blue-collar white men between the ages of 30 and 64) were more likely to say they would vote in the event of an active riot standing between them and the ballot.”

I could not get Twitter this morning!

My own business website (hosted on a server owned by a security company, which I engaged after two bad hacks) was and is rock-steady!!!!

As you all know, I would like to see Facebook stock tank and the company go out of business. I am sorry that Trump uses FB. But I saw his “Facebook Live” event on Good Ol’ Right Side Broadcasting!!!! Yea!!!!

WikiLeaks

WikiLeaks – Verified account ‏@wikileaks

Mr. Assange is still alive and WikiLeaks is still publishing. We ask supporters to stop taking down the US internet. You proved your point.
