A massive cyberattack hindered access to many major websites across the internet on Friday.
The attack, which came in the form of a large number of internet-connected devices, caused intermittent outages throughout the day primarily for internet users on the east coast of the U.S.
The problems started on Friday morning when Dyn — a company that hosts domain name systems for many major companies — announced that it had been the subject of a cyberattack that caused major problems for numerous websites. People reported issues with Twitter, Spotify, SoundCloud, Vox Media sites, Airbnb and numerous other sites.
