#6 ~ Roblox Under DDoS Attack?

'Sup

Um hi sorry I haven't been posting for a while....

I wanted to post today because why not. Also, there seems to be an issue with Roblox at the moment and I wanted to chat with you guys about it.

PAST: My PT (Parent/Teacher) Conference
PRESENT: Roblox not Working and my ear hurts
FUTURE: Roblox Working...?????

Okay so. This morning I was playing RHS on Roblox. Eventually a message in-game popped up, saying, "It seems Roblox has an issue loading items. Please be patient."

Well, everyone else on the server seemed to be fine. A few minutes later, another message popped up saying, "Roblox has fixed the issue. Thank you for being patient! You may need to rejoin the server if you experienced loading problems."

Luckily, someone sent me a friend request. I left the game, thinking that I would rejoin and continue my roleplay. But roblox took forever, saying, "Loading" or "'Logging in". When I tried the site, it came up with "www.roblox.com's server DNS address could not be found."

I looked up what was happening to Roblox, and some people think that it has to do with a DDoS attack that stopped social medias such as Twitter and Reddit today.

A DDoS is a Distributed Denial of Service, a type of DOS attack.

But, the DDoS attack was supposedly only on the east coast of the US, as said by multiple articles on the attack. But, I'm experiencing problems with Reddit and Roblox, and I live in the West!

So, what's happening? Has the DDoS spread to the rest of America, or the world? Or is this just a big joke, just a dream? What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments below!

EDIT: The DDoS spread almost completely worldwide - minus a few countries and obviously a continent. Roblox and a few other sites are back up now.
