WikiLeaks and Twitter go down after 'DDoS attack' following release of more John Podesta emails
Twitters users around the world reported that the service was down early on Monday morning, shortly after WikiLeaks claimed to have been the subject of a cyber-attack.
According to a Twitter status monitor, the outage began at around 6.45am GMT and continued for around half an hour, though reports suggested the impact varied from user to user.
Reports of the outage peaked at almost 14,000, according to Downdetector.com, which also suggested that many users were still experiencing problems in Japan more than a couple of hours later. Twitter is yet to comment on the loss of service, and it has not been acknowledged via @twitter or @support.
