Ask HN: Is WhatsApp down?

7 points by Cyph0n 9y ago ↗ HN

I've been looking online, but can't seem to find anything. Is it being targeted by a DDoS?

Edit: Looks like DYN is being DDoSed. It's the DNS for many sites including Twitter, GH, Reddit, and WhatsApp.

Yep, just saw another submission for Twitter and GH. This seems like it's huge.

Netflix as well

They aren't down -- but DNS they use seems to be down at the moment.

for me github, twitter, seamless and many other down. looks like it's dyndns related, as it doesn't respond.

Google's public DNS isn't responding to them, but opendns (208.67.222.222) helps here.
