Twitter, Spotify and Reddit, and a huge swath of other websites were
down or screwed up this morning. This was happening as hackers unleashed
a large distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on the servers of Dyn, a major DNS host. It’s probably safe to assume that the two situations are related.

Update 12:28 PM EST: Dyn says it is investigating yet another
attack, causing the same massive outages experienced this morning.
Based on emails from readers, this new wave of attacks seems to be
affecting the west coast of the United States and Europe.

Domain
Name Servers (DNS) act as the Internet’s phone book. Basically, they
facilitate your request to go to a certain webpage and make sure you are
taken to the right place. If the DNS provider that handles requests for
Twitter is down, well, good luck getting to Twitter. Some websites are
coming back for some users, but it doesn’t look like the problem is
fully resolved.
