No, that's what the common prejudices about the popular whipping boy of the moment says.

It seems that there has been a massive short lived ddos attack all over the web.
There have been several in the later years. Sone of them are linked to a botnet called AISURU that it’s supposedly infected millions of devices worldwide.
Timing links most likely with an attempt at hybrid warfare against europe. My bet is israel or Russian linked due recent events.

There’s a really large DDOS attack going on right now.
Lemmy could be getting caught up in it, somehow.

Cloudflare has said it recently successfully stopped the largest distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack ever recorded. The attack reached 22.2 terabits per second and 10.6 billion packets per second, setting a new world record.
Were they residential IP addresses? I had this a couple weeks back. But it wasn’t just Brazil, constant hits from Argentina and few other countries. Tried different things but they were all unique residential addresses and hard to block, then set up challenge for the whole continent. Finally, it went down.
Yeah, same story - the few I looked at looked like they were from consumer ISPs. We had ~7m requests from Brazil, ~900k from Argentina, and a little less from Ecuador, Colombia and Russia.

Is just heavy traffic?
What's Ralph Bakshi gotta do with it?
My money is on heavy scraping.
that is ddos in a nutshell, but people are speculating the causes
Seems better now <img alt="" src="https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/68f2368d-b2ab-4562-a4ef-4a2e0317261e.webp">
I mean, i don’t use those other istances so maybe is just a coincidence.

When isn’t there one going?
I mean, yes, but this one is really huge. I think it’s in the trillions of source nodes, if I understand the blurb I saw about it.
Yikes!

Holy shit. But it lasted only 40 seconds… This smell like a field test for something worse.
Might be, yes. But that suuurely cost a fuckton of money.
“Somehow”… seems to be caused by using centralized MitM Clownflare that supposedly protects against DDOS 🙄
We were getting DDoS’d by a bunch of South American IPs (mostly Brazilian) from maybe 18 hours ago.

It was my fault. Happened shorty after I joined lemmy. Sorry everyone.
