Stephen 30,433 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 SAN FRANCISCO — Two successive waves of online attacks blocked multiple major websites Friday, at times making it impossible for users on the East Coast to access Twitter, Spotify, Netflix, Amazon, Tumblr and Reddit. The first attacks appear to have begun around 7:10 am Friday, then resolved towards 9:30 am, but then a fresh wave began. The cause was a large-scale distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) against Internet performance company Dyn that blocked user access to many popular sites standstill. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the Department of Homeland Security was “monitoring the situation" but that “at this point I don’t have any information about who may be responsible for this malicious activity.” http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2016/10/21/cyber-attack-takes-down-east-coast-netflix-spotify-twitter/92507806/ I still can't access Netflix or Twitter!

JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 It's affected by area not the whole website. Mostly New York is affected in the US. Other countries have there own areas affected.
