Twitter Knocked Out by Denial-of-Service (DOS) Cyberattack

No one seemed to really care when the government computers were taken out by a cyberattack last month, but I guarantee that people will start to notice now that Twitter has been hit by a cyberattack.

Twitter was inaccessible for several hours on Thursday morning, followed by a period of slowness and sporadic time-outs (and more outright downtime). The company is blaming an "ongoing" denial-of-service attack but has not said anything further.
