Over the last few weeks, StoryGraph has been hit by a large, coordinated DDoS campaign designed to knock our service offline.
Nadia and I have been working around the clock to keep StoryGraph up and running. Sorry for the slowdowns and outages lately. We should have a new solution in place soon!

Here's hoping the DDoS lets up soon!
👿to the creeps doing this.
A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack occurs when multiple systems flood the bandwidth or resources of a targeted system, usually one or more web servers. A DDoS attack uses more than one unique IP address or machines, often from thousands of hosts infected with malware.
OTOH this is literally how I learned about the existence of StoryGraph.. 🤷🏾🤪
- Showed up in my TL and I read it because of #InfoSec background
- To see if I’d learn anything new or had any useful comment to make
- Then looked up the bio to understand who the company was and what they did..
Had never heard of or seen anything about them before!
This was something we (R&E carrier) put in place for universities 20+ years ago…
Sorry this is happening. As my DH says...Some people's children!
