Hackers targeted Ukraine's largest mobile-only bank, Monobank, with a powerful denial of service (DDoS) attack on May 2, the company's co-founder and CEO Oleh Horokhovskyi reported.
I hesitate to share this for fear of generating a mini #ddos on their site, but i had no idea the #fediverse generated so much traffic due to its inherent nature. Sounds like issue is on the roadmap to getting fixed, but good that folks are sounding off about it.
Due to frequent DDoS attacks, we're enforcing stricter limits on the number of connections to our servers. By default, each server enforces a limit of 16 or 32 TCP connections from each IPv4 address and IPv6 /64 block. During persistent attacks, these limits will be adjusted.
Access to the #XMPP server and the #Matrix server are currently limited because the primary IPv4 address was blocked by the provider due to #DDoS. Checking the server revealed no abnormalities and we have applied for unblocking.
Thinking of moving away from Netlify because of this, my current plan includes 1TB/month in bandwidth and I use about 400MB per month of that, but in a large attack that could get used up.
Would feel much safer with a service that 503s the site with too much traffic. I don't really need 99.999% uptime anyway.
Die Aargauer Zeitung hatte Ende Januar eine Story veröffentlicht über #Zahnbürsten die Angeblich für #DDoS Attacken verwendet wurden. Leider und/oder zum Glück war das eine falsche Meldung, wie AZ nun in einer Replik (Antwort) dazu adressieren.
Wir lernen zwei Dinge:
#Fortinet ist wohl keine vertrauenswürdige Quelle (mehr?)
Journalismus sollte weitergehen, als eine Story von der gleichen Quelle bestätigen zu lassen
