All this talk about redundancy, real-time apps, scalable architecture and and a "simple" DDOS against DNS architecture brings half of the internet down. Honestly did nobody think about having a spare dns at some other company? or even backup dns server exactly for a situation like that?

From where I'm looking at the internet (central Europe), I don't notice anything. Maybe your internet on the other side of the Atlantic is broken, ours seems to be working fine. ;-) Edit: Looks like the eastern part of the USA is affected: https://cloudharmony.com/status-for-dyn

I'm in Europe now and worked fine something like 30 min ago.

Now facing similar issues reported in original post.

agreed 100%. This kind of thing shouldn't happen and this widespread. It's like no one is preparing for worse case scenarios until AFTER something tragic happens.

On the West Coast and I just lost twitter/soundcloud/github - 9:40 am PST

Anyone has any idea which hosts desktop spotify app is trying to reach?

`netstat -punta | grep spotify` tells me they are on those IP:port :

* 151.101.120.246:80

* 194.132.198.50:4070

Problem is, I don't know what hosts this is supposed to be, and `dig -x` is not very helpful...
