According to new information, Twitter is currently experiencing a wave of technical issues which have taken down a number of its services.
Twitter seems to have run into a few technical difficulties in the last couple of hours, according to numerous reports and complaints made by its users. The popular social network has been experiencing issues with delivering notifications, as well as viewing DMs.

Not only that but Tweeting itself seems to be affected, while the TweetDeck seems to be down. At this time, it remains unknown what caused the problems, and whether it is a technical issue or an attack.
Twitter Support announced that Twitter and TweetDeck have been experiencing outages on a massive scale and that the team is working on fixing the problem. So far, there was no mention of any kind of foul play, although the possibility should not be written off until the company announces additional details.

Twitter has its fair share of problems and areas in which it lacks, as its community is more than happy to mention when issues such as this emerge and affect the platform.
Outages are not particularly common, however, so many who use the platform on a daily basis ended up alert until the announcement from the support team came out.

The problems seem to have originally started around 10 hours before the announcement was made when the support team worked on fixing the issue with the follower counts in Twitter Analytics. The team had stated that they are working on resolving the issue and that they will keep updating the community about their progress.

The next announcement reported the outages, which likely means that the team exposed (or caused) some additional damage along the way.
