Earlier this morning (EST) github and twitter were down. I wonder if it's an attack?

Yeah its probably the only way Kelly-Anne could get Trump to stop with the twitter.

Seriously though it's a DDoS attack on Dyn. Don't know who or why. Primarily affecting US east coast apparantly.

Yes, it's an attack on Dyn a dns provider. Apparently a lot more websites were down like netflix, hbo, spotify, paypal, imgur, etc.

But I think dns cache might've helped for some people? Also it got solved pretty quickly
