Twitter's servers have been hit Aug. eleven with an additional distributed denial-of-service attack, sending the microblogging support crashing down.
Around 3 p.m. EDT, Twitter posted an updated to its status blog stating that it was experiencing a site outage and was examining the nature of the attack. Later,
Office Enterprise 2007 Key, Alex Payne, platform lead at Twitter, posted on a bulletin board that the Website was undergoing another wave of DDoS (distributed denial of support) attacks.
"Expect periodic slowness and errors until the assault passes or is countered by our operations team and hosting provider," Payne wrote. "Updates will be provided as we get them."
The situation follows a DDoS attack Aug. 6 that knocked out Twitter and affected numerous other sites,
Windows 7 Ultimate Product Key, including Facebook, LiveJounal and YouTube. In that case,
Windows 7 X64, some security researchers believe the DDoS attack was part of an effort to silence a pro-Georgian blogger with an act of hacktivism. The attack affected Twitter for several hours.
The Aug. eleven assault subsided relatively quickly. But,
Genuine Office 2007, according to Payne, it picked up again later in the day.
"We're trying to work with [Twitter's support provider] to ensure minimal impact to the API,
Office Standard 2010 Key, but in the near term there may be issues with OAuth and the Streaming API ," Payne wrote on the bulletin board. "This is a bit of a juggling act, as we're trying to coordinate our team, the operations team, our services provider's staff and specialists that they've
brought in for this issue."
The service appears to be functioning at the moment.
