Twitter Down Because It Is Under DDOS Attack and Still Not Working

August 7, 2009 · Filed Under Twitter 

Twitter is still down and we got worried a bit because of the reason – a DDOS attack. Twitter, being down this long is really bothersome. First a social network as huge and as popular as Twitter is not uncommon to be spammed. But a DDOS attack? Come on! Hackers really know their way around security holes and this is a terrible security issue.

Twitter Down and Under DDOS AttackA DDOS attack on Twitter cannot be cured by an ordinary antivirus software. It cannot be addressed by simply looking at admin pages. It might take a while before a DDOS attack can be fully inspected, studied and countered. Look at Twitter, Facebook, Myspace and other social networks which are constantly bombarded by viruses and malwares. They too are vulnerable to these attacks. Large websites like Twitter and even online stores, can really be hacked  and attacked. These malicious programmers will not rest until there are sites to hack and people to annoy. That’s the sad thing about life online.  Too bad, hacking is a given practice on the web. And it’s on of those many online security issues that will not go away soon. Please share your thoughts on this Twitter issue, if you have something on your mind. We’ll appreciate your comments/opinions.
