Summary and vulgarisation:
Somewhere in this world, there’s someone remotely controlling a *huge* amount of infected computers/iot devices and who decided, for unknown reason, that they should all permanently try to access #sourcehut .
The attack is so important that even the datacenter hosting #sourcehut was unable to handle it, which prompted an urgent move to a new one, in Europa. But the attack followed and the new datacenter is also on his knees.
This could happen to anyone, it sucks…
