While this is nothing new, how the attackers went about taking down one of the largest social networking sites was right out of the old school hacking textbook. Twitter having crashed and burned, suffering from a major DoS [ that's a Denial of Service attack] where the attacker has hijacked many unknowing user computers across the internet and used these unwitting machines to attack the servers and website of twitter to bring it to a screeching halt.

And you know what?

It worked, really well. People couldn’t login to send tweets, smart-phones and tweet software’s were left in disarray. It caused a lot of trouble, not just for twitter to deal with the attack, but the aftermath of the angry and frustrated users in a long history of twitter troubles.

I want to ask you the reader, Did you have trouble with your twitter account? We’re your tweets caught up in the frey that twitter’s attack caused?

Let me know by commenting.

It is kinda sad that a tech company that nobody has heard of has come out of the blue to sue twitter for something as trivial as sending messages to more than 1 person with a single click. However in this sue happen, I’m gonna get my due court system we have allowed it’s not surprising to see another example rear its ugly head.

I’m rooting for twitter, however the courts will decide who wins in this battle. Let the Tweets begin!
