"Update: After a brief outage shortly after this story posted, Goat Attack restored service. But late this afternoon, Twilio suspended the site's API account citing "suspicious activity," according to Ruddy. Ars contacted Twilio by email at 6:00 PM EDT. "I'm not able to comment on any particular customer," said Twilio's director of global communications Kay Kinton, "but I can tell you that we investigate all complaints of unauthorized use of the services and take immediate action if we find usage that violates our terms of service. In cases where the services are being used to contact end users without their consent, we will take action." Since that's sort of the definition of Goatattack's service, it's understandable that Twilio might feel that way. "
