Twitter Hacked and Attacked!

On Thursday you might have tried to get online to tweet some things on twitter, however you were not able to get on and were getting a denial of service message. The reason being is that hackers apparently was the cause of this. Using their computer to send commands to other computers who in turns used other computers logging onto the site basically overloaded the server and not allowing normal traffic to the site. Now obviously this was not just 20-30 computers, these hackers had to have access to thousands of computers to pull this off I am assuming for it to work like it did, and with virtually every computer connected to the internet, would not be that hard to do. Make sure to run your virus protection!!!
