Twitter Down: Social media website does not allow users to refresh their feed (representation)
Washington:
Social media site Twitter faced an outage on Wednesday with thousands of users, including in India, reporting issues with updating their news feed or posting new content to the website. The service, which stopped around 8 p.m., resumed after a short time.
Users, mainly in India, Malaysia and Indonesia, were affected by the outage according to DownDetector, which had registered 2,855 complaints around 8:30 p.m.
Users in India have complained that the homepage cannot be loaded. The problem started around 8 p.m. The social media website does not allow users to refresh their feed. The issues are reflected not only on the web version, but also on the Twitter app for iPhone and Android.
DownDetector is a site that offers real-time status and failure information.
Instead of displaying a new stream of tweets, a pop-up message appeared on the microblogging site: “An error has occurred, try again.”
On October 16, the Twitter team reported “some problems with our internal systems” and declared “No evidence of a security breach or hack” after a massive outage.
Previously, on October 1, hours after Twitter was reported to be down in several parts of the world, including India with the homepage refusing to load, the company said it had ” corrected “now. Earlier
In July this year, Twitter announced the strengthening of security measures during the investigation of the hacker attack, severely restricting access to its internal systems.
Among the victims of the hack were former US Vice President Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama, Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, billionaires Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg and Warren Buffett, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos , rapper Kanye West, and many more. Hackers used the account to trick subscribers to send money to a Bitcoin account.
