Twitter Status

At 20:49 UTC, our DNS registrar experienced an issue in which it appears DNS records for various organizations were modified, including one of Twitter’s domains used for image serving, twimg.com. Viewing of images and photos was sporadically impacted. By 22:29 UTC, the original domain record for twimg.com was restored.  No Twitter user information was affected by this incident.

[UPDATE, 8/28/13: Post updated to reflect that the issue was with our DNS registrar, not our DNS provider.]

Update: As of 14:19 PDT, this issues has been resolved.

Due to unexpected issues during a maintenance, some users were not able to get to twitter.com or load mobile timelines from 13:55 until 14:19 PDT. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Some users may be experiencing issues reaching twitter right now.

Our engineers are currently working to resolve this.
