Internet Attack Spreads, Disrupting Major Websites
Major websites were inaccessible to people across wide swaths of the United States on Friday after a company that manages crucial parts of the Internet's infrastructure said it was under attack.

Users reported sporadic problems reaching several websites, including Twitter, Netflix, Spotify, Airbnb, Reddit, Etsy, SoundCloud and The New York Times.
I didn't even know this happened since I did not use a computer at all today.

It's like the Left are producers and directors of political theater. And they don't care if its noticed.


They make accusations against Trump, or they arrange the release through NBC of a decade and more hot mic audio tape where Trump is heard after strong editing saying things about women, and then appears women making claims that match exactly what he was heard to say.

He's set up with a Putin question and its reiterated at the last Presidential debate just awhile ago, and Hillary says agencies have found that Russia is hacking American websites, after Trump talked about Russia being able to do that earlier in his campaign. And now, after the debate where all that rhetoric was spewed by Hillary, an internet attack spreads and disrupts major Websites.

The left makes the accusation, or sets the stage for assailing Trump's reputation and then there's an incident that supports it.

That's talent! And connnectionnnnnnnns like one would never dream.
I have no idea what you're talking about but this isn't the political forum FYI.

Maybe. I do not know a lot about technology, but I assume if they were caught this person, or people would be facing hefty prison sentences. Like, is the risk worth it? Or maybe its from people/government over seas, somewhere where the U S government can't get them? Like this is a training exercise for bigger things to come?

Doesn't anyone else find it odd that an attack upon the people on the internet is as subtle as putting up dividing walls between the people not to keep the violent and rebellious out but to keep the truth out when Jesus himself destroyed all barriers for all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth!!!

Whose the politician that sets up walls!

As written: We destroy every pretension and argument that sets itself up against the knowledge of God.

Supposedly it was done by Wikileak supporters in retaliation to the US administration trying to take down Assange. HERE
Whoa, sounds political.
Massive cyber hack that floored Amazon, Twitter, HBO and Reddit could be 'practice for election day': Wikileaks supporters among those claiming responsibility for massive security breach - and many fear it is just a warm-up
