    Yeah the list of sites on the article is huge. It's scary how many that are being affected by this.

    I wonder if this is why Streamate is so incredibly dead today. Or, at least it is for me.

    I thought maybe it could be particularly slow because if other sites are down, guys are less likely to continue browsing. But who knows? Streamate's traffic has been awful lately anyway.

    I was on twitter earlier this morning following a lot of people and then all of a sudden I was locked out of my account and sent an email saying this "Your account may have been compromised by a website or service not associated with Twitter.' and then telling me to change my password? Was the email really from twitter tho? I am confused what all of this means

    I read up and apparently it's the east coast of USA that's affected although anyone around the world might get disruptions on some sites. All sites have been fine for me all day. Mental that one attack can affect so many sites though!

    "The huge attack on global internet access, which blocked some of the world’s most popular websites, is believed to have been unleashed by hackers using common devices like webcams and digital recorders.

    Among the sites targeted were Twitter, Paypal and Spotify. All were customers of Dyn, an infrastructure company in New Hampshire in the US that acts as a switchboard for internet traffic.

    Outages were intermittent and varied by geography, but reportedly began in the eastern US before spreading to other parts of the country and Europe."
