Twitter, Facebook, LiveJournal, YouTube, Google all are facing DDOS attacks, and some of those are still in the state of defending. This is also revealed that the same user was responsible for all the vulnerabilities of these social networks.

Facebook’s chief security officer Max Kelly said :
“A blogger in the Republic of Georgia with the user name Cyxymu was the victim.”

Further more Kelly said:
“It was a simultaneous attack across a number of properties targeting him to keep his voice from being heard. We’re actively investigating the source of the attacks and we hope to be able to find out the individuals involved in the back end and to take action against them if we can.”

Google said on this issue:
“We are aware that a handful of non-Google sites were impacted by a DOS attack this morning, and are in contact with some affected companies to help investigate this attack. Google systems prevented substantive impact to our services.”

Twitter co-founder Biz Stone writes in his twitter blog:
“In the past 24 hours, we’ve been contending with a variety of attacks that continue to change in nature and intensity. We’re working to restore access to apps built on the Twitter platform that were affected by defensive measures—there was some overcompensation on our part as we tune our system to deal with this scale of attack.”

According to the available web resources these DDOS attacks are related to the Russia-Georga political conflicts and Stone said “The ongoing, massively coordinated attacks on Twitter this week appear to have been geopolitical in motivation. However, we don’t feel it’s appropriate to engage in speculative discussion about these motivations. The open exchange of information can have a positive impact globally and our job is to keep Twitter services running reliably to the best of our ability.”

The most affected one by these DDOS attacks is Twitter which remained shutdown completely for two hours and still working on restoring.

According to the recent update of twitter:

“As you know all too well Twitter, among other services, has been getting hit pretty hard with a DDoS attack over the past 24+ hours. Yesterday we saw the attack come in a number of waves and from a number of different vectors increasing in intensity along the way. We were able to stabilize our own service for a bit, hence Biz’s post saying all was well, but that didn’t mean the attacks had ceased. In fact, at around 3am PST today the attacks intensified to almost 10x of what it was yesterday. In order for us to defend from the attack we have had to put a number of services in place and we know that some of you have gotten caught in the crossfire. Please know we are as frustrated as you are and wish there was more we could have communicated along the way.”

As Most of the web resources are saying that a Russian group of users or may be a single Russian user is attacking on Georgian users but by this crazy act they are put all in the fire and the whole big web networks became infected simultaneously worldwide, which is not good.
