Twitter, Facebook DDoS attack was all targeting one person!
 

A Russian activist blogger with accounts on Twitter, Facebook, LiveJournal and Google's Blogger and YouTube was targeted in a denial of service attack that led to the site-wide outage at Twitter and problems at the other sites on Thursday, according to a Facebook executive.

Our military generals use facebook and twitter and russian activists too!

Brutal... because of one person...

What's the proof? Because one person had an account on all of the sites hit? That should narrow it down to about 50 million people, not just one.

Doesn't ring true. There must be more to the story.

Someone's not spilling the beans damnit.

Judging from the article, the attack seems to have consisted of requests for that specific user's page.

Wow that's crazy

Russian hackers are powerful :D

Strange. Usually Russians just kill their activists.
