Yesterday we weren't able to access a lot of famous American websites like the social network 'TWITTER" and also the worldwide electronic bank ‘PAYPAL’, and SHOPIFY as well.
Till now press reports resumed that the attack was from a type called 'DDOS ATTACK’, the attack was against the company DYN, DYN is the one who insures the DNS service for those giant websites, DNS is the service that makes us able to enter websites just by typing for example "www.google.com' instead of accessing it by an IP address that looks like this "214.55.210.12”.
In a simple way this type of attack is based on sending giant amount of useless data as requests to the hosting servers Until creating a total server disability and therefore the server can no longer responds, as a result the site would be inaccessible .
Fortunately the DYN company declared that they fixed all the problems caused by the attack .some rumors has it that the attack was coming from cameras and other connected, smart devices.
