Early Monday morning morning, Twitter went dark for about thirty minutes. The outage was similar to the DDoS attack in October, but the root cause is different. Mondays outage was a technical error caused by misconfigured BGP routes. BGP isnt regulated, so there is no single authority responsible for its management and maintenance. For some people in Japan, parts of Europe, and the United States, it was as if the social media service never existed. Twitter says engineers are investigating the outage, but Salted Hash has reached out to the company.”]
