There has been reports that the Internet along the East Coast of the United States has been disrupted because a company that based in New Hampshire seems to be under a Denial-of-service attack, which works by overwhelming web sites with fake Internet traffic.

In a series of statements, the company said that the attacks began early Friday morning local time and created disruption throughout the network. But that “services have been restored to normal.”

Dyn provides Internet traffic optimization for some of the biggest web site names, including Twitter, Netflix, and Visa.

It has also been reported that several other web sites (such as Github) have been experiencing problems. But it isn’t known if they were related to the Cyberattack.
