Twitter Hit by Denial of Service Attack

On an otherwise normal and happy Thursday morning, Twitter became the most recent high profile site to be the target of a denial of service attack.

Attacks such as this are malicious efforts orchestrated to disrupt and make unavailable services such as online banks, credit card payment gateways, and the service provided to customers.

Twitter. A denial of service for intended customers or users. Twitter say 'We are defending against this attack now and will continue to update our status blog as we continue to defend and later investigate.'
