I've seen some issues myself. How about you?

I'm really interested in following the consequences of this attack.

Hello and thanks for sharing this disturbing news

 

[_CyberGhosT_]

Haven't noticed anything and I have been on UBIsoft servers and downloading from youtube, so far so good
here in the Central US, I have satellite internet on AdGuards DNS servers, don't know if that makes a difference
or not.

Update 12:19 PM EST: Dyn says the issue is resolved, but multiple readers are messaging me to say they’re still having trouble accessing websites.​

Still getting issues connecting to popular websites, including Twitter.

Did this just happen today? My internet is working fine today (Oct 21st) ... but yesterday it was beeping and shutting off (8-9PM Eastern Time) for no obvious reason. Or is it mainly the websites themselves effected ?

"Based on emails from Gizmodo readers, this new wave of attacks seems to be affecting the West Coast of the United States and Europe."

West Coast of US, or only East or newly the West and all parts of Europe ??

NESW... North, East, South, the West??? lol... Im lost.
