Title: Slow Access forum
Post by: Jawhead999 on February 09, 2020, 02:02:41 PM
Is there something problem with bitcointalk.org? It's very hard to access about 2 hours ago till now, moreover my Internet connection is not too bad. I can still watch youtube, browsing, play mobile game and many things except access to this site. I usually get error 502,504 for gateway time out and error 521 for website down. Are you guys affected by this problem too? Or is it only me who gets this problem?
Hopefully I can still open this forum altought I must wait for 5-10 minutes for view 1 pages only. I'm worried if there some hacker want to hack this forum.

@theymos has confirmed on Meta that it’s a DDos attack (see Slow accessing the forum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5224384.0)). This does happen every now and then. The forum seems to be going pretty smooth now, so perhaps it’s over by now. Check the above referenced thread later onto see if there are any more updates.

The forum is now behaving normal and there is no signs of slowness. I hope the DDoS attack is over and everything is fine for now.

All of us are experience the slow access in the forum lately, then upon waiting for a couple of hours, it seems the forum is now back to normal and there's no problem at all.
