Sites across the internet had problems on Friday morning following a cyberattack on a major internet management company.
On Friday morning, Dyn a company that hosts domain name systems announced it has been the subject of a cyberattack that caused major problems for numerous websites. People reported issues with Twitter, Spotify, SoundCloud, Vox Media sites, Airbnb and numerous other sites.

Domain name systems (DNS) are essentially the GPS of the internet, taking the text URLs you type into a browser and figuring out where those websites data is located on the back end. So
Hillary and her minions are all about spinning false naratives
The Rats are the only ones with anything to gain by disrupting Social Media Networks. They are so stupid. They thought cutting Assange off would work. Now they think they can cut off Veritas and Wikileaks. They might want to do a little homework and discover WHY DARPA invented the web tubes.

Oh noze- call the internationalists who now own the internets! Where’s the service desk?
China? Iran? Moscow?
If this was a DDOS attack they know where it came from. Denial of service attacks by nature are flooding a target with junk data. It is easy to tell where the large amount of junk data came from...

Watch the internet battle global
Kind of cool
It’s just not the way the internet works. It’s like saying that the CEO of Wells Fargo resigning is going to impact the public’s ability to get cash out of ATM’s. There is simply no connection between the two. There are other significant ramifications of the transfer, this just isn’t one of them.
“One of the first things you do in a war is destroy the enemys communications”
Assange O’Keefe Drudge and wikileaks is the enemy of who...hmmm. Twitter shadow banning must have got just too massive a project
Someone has implemented a war plan
It’s a matter of control, or lack thereof. Chaos abounds when there is no control. DDOS abounds, systems are threatened. Imagine the chaos when the banks close. You gotta think outside the box. Read a couple of books on anarchy.
From a twitter comment...they pasted this:
Writing on its website, Dyn said that starting at about 7 a.m. EST, the company “began monitoring and mitigating a DDoS attack against our Dyn Managed DNS infrastructure. Some customers may experience increased DNS query latency and delayed zone propagation during this time. Updates will be posted as information becomes available.”
DDoS stands for “distributed denial of service” and is a common tactic used by hackers to take down internet-connected servers. In a DDoS attack, malicious users build a network of computers that then send massive amounts of traffic to particular servers with the goal of denying the use of those servers to other users, according to Cisco.
The source of the attack Friday was not immediately clear.
“Hackers have no rules. One of the problems we have is that they move much faster than cyber-defenders. A DDoS attack can be launched in literally seconds, or under an hour if it’s coordinated by a larger group,” Steven Morgan, founder of the research firm Cybersecurity Ventures, told Mashable. “Right now, we’re in the phase of figuring out where did this come from.”
This cyberattack comes at a time of heightened tension, with the US claiming it will retaliate against Russia after accusing the country of orchestrating hacks of the Democratic National Committee.
The internet continues to rely on protocols and infrastructure designed before cyber security was an issue. DDoS, especially with the rise of insecure IOT devices, will continue to plague our organizations,” Ben Johnson, a chief security strategist for Carbon Black, told Mashable. “Sadly, what we are seeing is only the beginning in terms of large scale botnets and disproportionate damage done.
The attack Friday mainly affected the eastern United States, Dyn said.
Hacker News first noted the “massive Dyn DNS outage.” The site said that if sites reported as down are working for some users, those users’ machines have likely cached the DNS response for those sites.
He’s doing a JFK in reverse.............
Hillary and her minions are all about spinning false naratives
and could also be to keep other news like obama/hillary emails off the top of the news/front page—
gotta line up the sunday show talking points...

Its like watching WW3
The US blames Russia... More like US using shadow groups to attack itself.
apparently we did not make enough noise for them to do anything

Well, they are there for themselves, not us. They don’t care what we think. Its their club, and we’re not in it.
This absolutely chilling.
Looks like this global internet idea is really working /s
