The Sisterinternet is going down, people.
Friday morning's cyberattack on Dyn — a company that hosts some major domain name systems — caused a horrific chain of events for the internet, one of the worst outages resulting from an attack.
The morning began with problems for major websites, including Twitter, Spotify, SoundCloud, Vox Media sites, and Airbnb, but since Dyn is essentially a major backbone of the internet, the severity of the situation escalated since.
Despite Dyn announcing that the attacks were resolved by mid morning, the company announced that the trouble had resumed in the early afternoon.
Many sites are still being affected by the massive attack, which began around 7 a.m. ET, and Dyn posted the follow update on its website at 18:52 UTC:
At this time, the advanced service monitoring issue has been resolved. Our engineers are still investigating and mitigating the attacks on our infrastructure.
As the severity of the situation continued to increase, services including PayPal, GitHub, Box, Spotify, Storify, Comcast, Basecamp and Eventbrite began making statements to their users:

Here's hoping order is restored to the world very soon.
