Cloud Security Twitter Under Denial of Service Attack
Did Twitter succumb to the power of a coordinated bot network attack?
By: Kevin Jackson

Multiple sources are reporting that Twitter continues to be under a denial of service attack. Some are speculating that this represents the power of a coordinated bot network attack. For the government community it is also a demonstration of what a well organized adversary can do against a major website.
Since Twitter is a cloud application on top of Amazon Web Services, my earlier thoughts explained in Cloud Computing: The Dawn of Maneuver Warfare in IT Security quickly come to mind.
 The Georgia incident showed the reality of cyberwar. Is this a Cyber terrorist attack?
