Bluesky is once again having a wobble. The platform said some of its systems are down and that it’s “investigating an incident with service in one of our reginos” (that’s Bluesky’s typo, not mine).

AI Summary

Bluesky reported that a sophisticated Distributed Denial‑of‑Service (DDoS) attack disrupted its services, causing intermittent outages across feeds, notifications, threads and search. The incident began around 1:42 a.m. ET and persisted through the day, with the platform still working to mitigate the attack as of 7:47 p.m. ET. Bluesky noted that the outage affected its status page as well, limiting users’ ability to monitor service health. The company said it is investigating the incident and attempting to restore full functionality.
