ITP V.016 TECH: MAJOR WEBSITES (TWITTER, REDDIT, NEW YORK TIMES, BANDCAMP, SPOTIFY) DOWN AS HACKERS TAKE DOWN INTERNET?

Strange but true. Not that I noticed, as now aware, ITP is shocked.
Apparently, this morning, 10/21/2016, hackers attached DYN and caused major outages (DDOS) on popular web servers (TWITTER, REDDIT, NEW YORK TIMES, BANDCAMP, SPOTIFY ect.).
