    He probably just didn’t pay a bill and thinks that’s an attack

      That would be so incredible funny :D

      Imagine not paying for your datacenter and the hoster putting something personal (rightfully so in this case) on your homepage.

    Hey, Anonymous: You should make the url redirect to Mastodon.

      Let me spin that for you so you see the problem.

      Mastodon, the social network backed by terrorists. By signing up, you put your name on a FBI watchlist as well.

      edit: I didn’t make it clear that this would be the spin that would be possible to use against mastodon. It’s not true, but it doesn’t have to be to cause harm.

        Fair point.

        Redirect it to Blue Sky instead.

          It wasn’t true. I wasn’t even trying to deceive anyone, but the problem is that people will mostly believe without asking for sources if they don’t care. I put an edit above now.

      I’m dumb; can they do that? I thought DoS attacks could be done without hacking, but a url redirect would require hacking, right?

        If they can change the page to a message, then they probably have the access needed to redirect the URL.

          Oh nvm, I wasn’t aware they’d done that. The article only talks about the outage.

          ETA did anyone see this message, or have a screenshot of it? I can’t find a single article about it. I don’t mean the screenshot of the Operation Dreadnought website that’s attached to this post.

          Unless they can edit DNS records, but that’s even harder to do.

    “In the Ukraine area”… Smells like code for “Russia” that Trump is going to use as additional rationale for abandoning Ukraine.
