In CA - Spotify starting going in and out around 9:15a, then completely shut down at 9:20a (no offline playlists were available). As of 9:49a my offline playlists are back up, but nothing else. Twitter was working from my mobile about 15 min ago, but not on my desktop. Now both are down. Can't believe Twitter is down. On my mobile I'm getting notifications, but can't view them. The people who are sending updates are…

On the East Coast, Twitter still down for me on mobile. All the Twitter media resources (twimg.com) are also not appearing.

Twitter is still not loading for me, but just checked Hootsuite and it is up and running now. Hootsuite was down for a while also.

Amazon is having an outage. Okta is also down because of this.

I managed to access twitter from Ecuador using Opera, activating the built-in VPN and setting it to Singapure.

PayPal isn't working for me. Could cost a lot of people a lot of money.

I just noticed it when I tried to do a bank transfer. Ebay was also loading slowly for a while but I didn't think anything of it. Hopefully this is resolved soon.

Same thing happened with hover last week... Same attacker perhaps? Maybe hover was just a test drive of their DNS DDoS machinery?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I doubt that your offline playlists were affected ...

Not sure why they were, but I tried 6 different offline playlists and each of them said "can't play the current song", then cited internet detection... which hadn't been an issue. Now (10:04a) all of my playlists are working again.

Spotify has a terrible network connection algorithm that will sit there and spin forever trying to open the app if it thinks you're on the network but you're really not.

Put your phone in airplane mode, then re-open Spotify, and magically, all of your offline playlists will play.

In the UK here and Twitter and Github just went dark.

One hour ago, Wikileaks twitted:

> PHOTO: Heavily armed 'police' appear outside Ecuadorian Embassy in London where Julian Assange has political asylum (photo, Tuesday morning)

Hopefully just a coincidence -- seeing as Twitter is a key communication conduit for Wikileaks.
