On Thursday evening, the social media company confirmed that a “sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack” was to blame for the issues, which had originally started on April 15 at around 8:40 p.m. ET. Distributed denial-of-service attacks often involve pummelling apps or websites with large amounts of junk web traffic aimed at overloading and knocking its servers offline. While these kinds of cyberattacks do not involve intrusions into a company's systems, these incidents can still be disruptive to both the company and its users. In a post on the Bluesky account, the company shared the cause of the problem and noted that the attack was “impacting our operations, with users experiencing intermittent interruptions in service for their feeds, notifications, threads, and search.” Bluesky said that it has not seen any evidence of unauthorized access to private data, however. When originally reached for comment on Thursday, Bluesky only pointed us to the status.bsky
