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.
