Social networking site Bluesky says its recent day-long disruption was caused by a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack that flooded the site with junk traffic. The social network confirmed the incident in a post on Monday, confirming the attack had taken place over the previous 24 hours.
“We have upgraded our defenses in response, and we continue to monitor the situation,” Bluesky said in a post, without disclosing any more details.
