Bluesky DDoS Attack Update
Bluesky has been dealing with a DDoS attack for nearly a full day. As a result, users have been experiencing “intermittent interruptions in service for their feeds, notifications, threads and search,” Bluesky says. The company first got a report of “intermittent app outages” at around 2:40 AM ET this morning.
Bluesky says it has not seen “any evidence of unauthorized access to private user data” due to the attack. It will share another update no later than 1 PM ET on Friday.
