Multiple waves of online attacks blocked many major websites Friday, at times making it impossible for users on the East Coast to access Twitter, Spotify, Netflix, Amazon, Tumblr, Reddit and other sites.

The cause was a large-scale distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) against New Hampshire-based Internet performance company Dyn. The attacks made it difficult for users to access to many popular sites beginning at 7:10 a.m. ET and continued throughout the day.

“It’s a very smart attack. We start to mitigate, they react. It keeps on happening every time. We’re learning though,” said Kyle York, Dyn’s chief strategy officer said on a conference call with reporters Friday afternoon. —  USA TODAY
