Jump To Comment: 1BBC coverage of yesterday's attack on Twitter quotes Graham Cluley of security firm Sophos who on his blog has said: "This raises the astonishing thought that a vendetta against a single user caused Twitter to crumble, forcing us to ask serious questions about the site's fragility."
Only Google seems to have escaped unscathed from the attack. "Google systems prevented substantive impact to our services," the company said in a statement. The company has not confirmed which services were targeted in the attack, but it is thought that its e-mail service Gmail and video site YouTube were under fire. "We are aware that a handful of non-Google sites were impacted by [an]... attack this morning, and are in contact with some affected companies to help investigate this attack," the company said.
BBC tech writer Maggie Sheils notes on her blog : Of course, it wasn't a full day that the world went without the successful microblogging service (see 'Massive attack' strikes websites). It was just a few - crippling, to some - hours. But the distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS) that hobbled Twitter and its 45 million worldwide users - and which also sucked in Facebook and LiveJournal - has security experts baffled and concerned. "Up is down, left is right and black is white," I was told by Cisco fellow and chief security researcher Patrick Peterson. "These attacks do not make sense. In the last few years, we have seen the criminals build systems to make money and not get caught. "Now we see them making a big splash with this attack which is of no benefit. It does not put a single dollar in their pocket and it exposes them to the risk of being caught," said Mr Peterson.
But maybe they made people think about Abkhazia and South Ossetia?
