Mastodon was hit by a 'major' DDoS attack that briefly took down parts of the service
Mastodon experienced a major Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack that briefly took down its primary mastodon.social instance. The platform's head of communications, Andy Piper, described the incident as significant, but countermeasures were implemented, and service has largely been restored. This follows a similar DDoS attack on the decentralized platform Bluesky the previous week.
