Hello. We have been DDoS-attacked again (many bots attacking SW in a short time, causing the site to go down). We're now looking into ways to mitigate this ASAP, to prevent these attacks from being effective again in the future. We apologize for the inconvenience. (Your data is safe.)
Kind regards.

@Nuno

I guess this a sign of popularity, when you have gained the attention of such entities.

Of course, they could just be trying to disrupt the whole system of Western Civilization.

What's next, ransomware that demands payment in SW tokens?

Ay
for a while.
I thought that was amusing because SW is so quiet w/o many posts .. how could it be overloaded ?! 🤔

This is the second morning in a row I've gotten that message when I first tried to sign on. Have we gotten THAT popular?
I got that message yesterday but when I went back about 30 minutes later it was working. I rushed to the comments but nobody posted anything about it.

Overloaded would be ok if it means lots of users I guess
