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 Las Vegas and I haven't had access to several sites all day. I don't think this is limited to eastern U.S.
Yep same issue in Denver

If you need access to GitHub, add these to your hosts file: 192.30.253.113 github.com 151.101.4.133 assets-cdn.github.com
Awesome. Thanks!

not very useful to post a status update on a site that is experiencing the same issues with the same DNS provider. maybe post a github gist? oh wait...
Should there be a global internet status page at an easily memorizable "vanity" IP address?
Seriously, just like the 8.8.8.8 name server. I used to work at a place where the firewall blocked accessing pages by IP though.

#256I thought DNS (particularly public) was basically immune to DDoS? If one DNS server is down, use the cached result or another server. DNS is some of the most distributable, cachable data I can imagine.
Seriously, please someone explain this. I thought DNS info is propagated among DNS servers, and it is cached on all of them... How can an attack to a single DNS company cause this outage??

#257Is anyone noticing significant delays visiting CNN, ebay, orbitz? It took 15 seconds for the Orbitz page to load (tried from Google Chrome and Safari). It seems like outside of the core group of sites effected (GitHub, Twitter, PayPal), other major websites are having serious delays loading..
Re: Massive Dyn DNS outage
#258All 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?
Maybe it is time to widely adopt namecoin ?
Re: Massive Dyn DNS outage
#259Anyone with an app affected by this because you use Heroku's SSL endpoint can fix this by switching to SNI. Unfortunately Heroku's API is also affected. There is a workaround... just edit your hosts file to point to the proper ip addresses temporarily.
add to /etc/hosts
23.21.149.112 api.heroku.com 107.21.99.123 ssl-doctor.heroku.com
Then use Heroku CLI to switch your app to the new SNI endpoint
heroku certs:add --type sni server.crt server.key -a YOUR_APP
That will spit out a new host name that you can point your DNS to and still be online.
