Hacker attack shuts down Twitter
NEW YORK -- A hacker attack shut down Twitter on Thursday morning, and Facebook also said it was "looking into" possible site problems.
Twitter said in its status blog Thursday that it was "defending against a denial-of-service attack," in which hackers command scores of computers to a single site at the same time, preventing legitimate traffic from getting through.
For users of the fast-growing messaging service, the outage means no tweeting about lunch plans, the weather or the fact that Twitter is down.
Facebook also seemed to be experiencing problems, at least intermittently. Facebook spokeswoman Brandee Barker said the company was looking into it and would have an update "as soon as possible."
The Twitter outage began at about 9 a.m. EDT, said Ken Godskind, chief strategy officer at Web performance monitoring company AlertSite. The site still had access problems late morning.

Hey Emily.
Nothing much. I'm just looking for some hair dye stuff, because I quite fancy having some colour in my hair. XD
What's up there?
Next to nothing.
I have highlights in my hair now, but when they grow out, I'm keeping them out. I like how I'll look without them better ATM.
Oooh, nice.
I wanted like, purple or something.
Like all over or just like in one spot?
All over purple would be so rad. ;D
but I probably won't, seeing as I'm going away in nine days, and if it goes wrong, I could look like I have some sort of disease. XD
haha.
LOL that would be quite the problem if you went to Disney with messed up purple hair...imagine all the weird looks...*shudder*
