Twitter was unavailable to users for significant portions of the day on Thursday. Contrary to speculation, it wasn't due to a hack attack, despite attempts by some groups to claim responsibility. Rather, a "cascading bug" in one of its infrastructure components was the cause for the upheaval, Twitter said. A cascading bug is a bug whose impact isn't confined to a particular software element, but rather "cascades" into other elements as well. Such a glitch can quickly affect all users, even on a global basis.
