    Looks like he has. As a result of there being less work for us mods to do, we've all had to take a 25% cut in salary.

    DDoS usually involves hijacking compromised devices wherever they are, so if the IP addresses were all in Ukraine (which I very much doubt) it could be orchestrated by any organisation/nation with a modicum of technical skill. Also, Anonymous claimed responsibility so I don't think they would have done it in a way that Ukraine would be implicated.

    In other words, Elmo is full of ****.

    Ooo, it would be amusing if the cameras on Teslas were involved in breaking Twitter.

    Worth noting that Twitter got hit because there was an important part of their network infrastructure that they'd left exposed for no reason at all, but I suppose these things happen when you fire all the smart people
    Bit like the rockets. .
