computer time synch lost - the Twitter hack ?

W

Wallace

noticed about at 11:55 am pst my computer time was off
I've used Dimension 4 for years but trying to synch at Any other server than the one
I was using got the same msg, 'can't connect to server'

downloaded another syncher but that couldn't connect to its server then about 20
minutes ago I re-installed D4 and the synch worked ok

what exactly was the Twitter hack ?
just how much of the net etc infrastructure did it hit since All the time synch servers
were out World Wide
why would the time synch servers go down ?
think it was a single hack ?
didn't have any chart/order entry programs open at the time but others on the forums
have reported various problems

nope, no problem here.But! I 'm trying to run ''update internet time' now and it's ain't working. you probably got some combo-when your soft wasn't able to synchronize-it did messed up your pc time. just a guess
time.windows.com is working
 
I believe that my time sync went down sometime during the day. Although I don't spend much time watching it to see if its always on and syncing.
 
some people had trouble with IB, Schwab was unable to be logged into but that's
all I heard, nothing in the news besides the hack
but it's happened with NinjaTrader and the same feed that people in different loca-
tions will be up and others can't connect or the system goes down
what I'd like is a mapping device that could show the connections being made be-
tween my computer and internet and a say 5 day log so I could go back and see
what had been going on. pretty useless most of the time but, now there's a thought
I'll contact the time server contact and ask him if he knows anything about the servers
going down - let you know
