As reported previously, Dyn DNS was the target of a large distributed denial of service (DDoS) on Friday 10/21, which caused many internet services to be interrupted. Major news outlets covered this story on Friday, and Dyn has released an update to confirm this issue was mitigated and resolved:
MindTouch monitored all domain customer domains during these events, and contacted any customers whose DNS was affected. Luckily, only a small handful of MindTouch customers were affected by this internet-wide issue for a few hours on Friday afternoon. Today, all MindTouch sites are successfully resolving.
