Bluesky attributes recent service outage to DDoS attack
Bluesky has attributed a recent service outage, which lasted approximately 24 hours, to a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. The platform was flooded with massive amounts of parasitic traffic intended to saturate its resources and render the service unavailable.
While attackers have reportedly claimed responsibility for the operation, their involvement has not been officially confirmed. In response to the incident, Bluesky stated that it has strengthened its defenses and is continuing to monitor the situation, though specific details regarding the containment of the attack were not provided.
