The Bitly service is a popular one tool συντόμευσης URL, για όσους δεν την γνωρίζουν. Σήμερα η δημοφιλής υπηρεσία, δέχτηκε μια επίθεση distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), η οποία επηρέασε πολλά τμήματα της ιστοσελίδαtheir
Η company confirmed the attack with the following statement on its site's homepage in a tweet Wednesday morning:
[tweet_embed id=438668285639680000] “bitly is currently working to mitigate a DDOS attack. Some parts of it by clicking heres may not be available in part”
It is unclear whether the DDoS attack has affected the bitly service links or simply the website.
A little later bitly published a new announcement on its website: "All connections work after the DDO attack is mitigated. Some connection metrics may still be delayed."
