Twitter fights away denial-of-service attack, this time.

36th Aug 2009Journalism, Technology, , , , , ,

Through most of today (6/8/09), social networking site Twitter went down on and off through the day due to a “denial-of-service” attack, most probably due to a hacker with a grudge.

Twitter was soon back on track with no major tragedies- except maybe the annoyance of it’s most devoted users that they couldn’t check new Tweets or update themselves- so all is well.

However, this is not the site’s first attack- less than 4 months ago, a young hacker known as Mikeyy infected many of Twitter’s member with a virus causing them to post dodgy Tweets. If the site is being attacked this frequently, alongside the infamous ‘Fail Whale’, what if Twitter eventually meets it’s match and is therefore shut down for good? I personally believe this could lead to consequences.
