Half the internet is down.

Nice to see RDP is still up. I don't know if you've seen the news but a big part of the internet is down because of an attack...major sites...Spotify, Netflix, Visa, Airbnb, Twitter, Reddit and my personal favorite xhamster just to name a few.

They say it could be a group just practicing an even bigger attack down the road.:yikes

I noticed a few websites were very slow and not responding. Makes sense now. Thanks for the information.

Probably John Kerry leaning on them to shut it down because of Wikileaks again..

Some of the major ones are coming back up slowly. This has been going on for hours.

Fuck twitter

My corporate office sent out an email to all of us about it, listing the services we use that are affected. I was going to reply all "porn hub is also down" but decided against it [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

The internet is safe.

I had issues with paying bills on B of A and Dish earlier today. Nothing noted lately.

Many years ago, I had a user send an up close (very up close) picture of a chocolate starfish with it's buddy the naked clam to the entire company.
He captioned it, 'Right back at ya moon doggy'

lol, good times. Mail server was offline for a couple hours while we scrubbed the message from everyone's mailbox.

Still makes me laugh thinking about it.

This is a test ! This is a test !

This 'false flag' test attack on the internet is being done to see if WE can manipulate the transfer of information, and disrupt it 'at will' .

WE will blame the Russians, terrorist hackers, anyone but who is really doing it .

This is a great way to 'slow down', or 'change the scope' of the newest Wikileaks Emails .

The NSA and the CIA do not have huge buildings full of computer equipment and 'hackers' in the center of this country, it's just 'your imagination' ...........

Notification I received from one of our SaaS vendors was the issue is also impacting AWS which hosts a lot of stuff.

If half is down that means half is still up, right?

I just tried to get my truck smogged and the tech said the entire system is down statewide. Not sure if it's part of this deal though

Cancel that...smog system now up and running

Conspiracies are swirling that this is Julian Assange's supporters taking down the net since Ecuador restricted his access.

Little tin foil hat info for y'all.

If your computer fan has been spinning up all day, or your computer functions are moving slowly - then maybe your computer's resources are part of the zombie botnet used in the attack :yikes

True story...you know, just in case you feel left out of all the excitement
