The DNS (domain name system) is responsible for taking people to the right website when you enter the web address into the bar. It matches domain names with IP addresses to get you to the right place. It’s an important part of the internet, but not so great when hacked. In mid October the DNS was hacked blocking users from accessing popular websites such as paypal, twitter, spotify and more. It has been fixed since, and all services have been restored.

Key Takeaways:

• Hackers launched a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack against Dyn this morning
• The attack, which lasted around two hours, was responsible for taking down or interrupting traffic
• At this point people trying to reach countless websites, including Twitter, Reddit, GitHub, Etsy, Imgur, PayPal, Spotify, Yelp, and the PlayStation Network all reported problems
