Another Day, Another DDoS Blitz for Twitter

For the second time in less than a week, Twitter More about Twitter has been hit by a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack.

Unlike the first attack last week, the latest cyberassault, which started on Tuesday, has been confined to Twitter so far -- Facebook More about Facebook has apparently not been affected.

That has led Roger Thompson, chief of research at security vendor AVG Technologies, to speculate the second attack could be linked to the attacks on U.S. and South Korean government Web sites last month.
