mastodon.social, mastodon.online and joinmastodon.org were hit by a DDoS yesterday, thankfully joinmastodon.org was already behind Fastly so it didn't have any impact on it. We've now moved mastodon.online behind Fastly and will do the same with mastodon.social soon.

@Gargron Re-centralisation ;)

Okay, half of the Mastodon instances are running at Hetzner, we're already at clustered infrastructure anyways.

@Gargron Make sure you prevent spoofing…

Drop any incoming Fastly-Client-IP stuff coming in to fastly from external as per this page: developer.fastly.com/reference

@Gargron it was only a matter of time or? Assume the worst, and proactively prepare ahead...

Attacking open source is definitely attacking a moving target.

@Gargron Were there any demands made? Any logical reason for it? Or just a bunch of script kiddies screwing around for the heck of it? Did Elon discover LOIC/HOIC? 😛
