Bluesky suffered a 24-hour distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack that flooded the site with junk traffic, causing a day-long disruption; the company reported upgrading defenses and is monitoring the situation. Security researchers cite an IFIN public forum where Iran-backed attackers claimed responsibility, and the report notes a similar April outage, but no technical indicators or further details were disclosed.
