A number of popular sites and services are down right now for many users, including Twitter, SoundCloud, Spotify and Shopify. The cause appears to be a sweeping outage of DNS provider Dyn, as a result of a DDOS attack, according to a post on Hacker News.
We’re tracking the outage and will let you know if we discover anything further about outage length, cause or sites affected.
Other sites experiencing issues include Github, Airbnb, Reddit, Freshbooks, Heroku and Vox Media properties. Users accessing these sites might have more or less success depending on where they’re located, as some European and Asian users seem not to be encountering these issues.
Dyn says that the DDOS attack affecting its customers is mostly impacting the U.S. East coast, and specifically Managed DNS customers. Engineers are working on “mitigating” the issue, according the DNS provider.
Large DDoS attacks cause outages at Twitter, Spotify, and other sites

I have a Toyota 2007 Matrix. Last year got a letter about faulty airbag. They advised against anybody riding in the front passenger seat til it was fixed. This summer was told that the part was available. Made an appointment at a local dealer to have it repaired. Have no idea what they did other than the fact that they said they fixed it. The airbag light on the dashboard is still illuminated. So who knows.
