Is Steemit.com getting DDOS'D?

in #steemit7 years ago

Today when I woke up I came here to read a few articles and upvote some things like I always do. But instead of being greeted with beautiful pictures and articles I was greeted with this:

It sure seems like Steemit.com is getting DDOS'D. The question is, who is doing this and why? Why on earth would anyone want to do ddos this site? Maybe i'm just getting old, but I seem to want to automatically blame the teenagers.

I don't think it was an attack. Steemit has some errors with connections every once in a while, but it usually goes away within a few minutes.

However, you can always browse it from eSteem or chainbb while Steemit is down :)
