Twitter is down for many South African users, following reports of a massive DDoS attack in the United States.

Twitter was not accessible via desktop browser and TweetDeck, and the smartphone application would not refresh at the time of writing.

Downdetector.co.za showed multiple reports of Twitter being down since just before 19:00 SA time.

USA Today reported that multiple waves on online attacks against DNS services in the US have left multiple sites down, including Twitter and Netflix.
