In case you weren't aware, half the internet got wiped out by a massive cyber attack last Friday as hackers unleashed a large distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on popular domain name system (DNS) provider called Dyn. 

Though it brought down (or at least screwed up) access to popular sites like Twitter, Spotify, Reddit, Netflix and a whole lot more for internet users in the United States, local telcom operator StarHub said that they were hit too. In fact, they've confirmed that the massive DDoS attack was the cause of the service disruptions that affected their broadband customers on Oct 22 and Oct 24.
