Are you using cloudflare joker_josue?

Bitcoindata.science was attacked a few times. I managed to keep it online with the free plan just by adding more aggressive configurations

Yes, that help.

Now I still have to make some adjustments, so that everything will work again.
I hope to have the situation normalized briefly.

I inform you that the services are already online

From this corner of the world the service is still offline. The site is not loading too.

Here in South America we are also in the same situation, the website is working but without images in the forum.

The site is back online, but the images are still not displayed on the forum.

Have to wait for more updates from @joker_josue and maybe the Voting Bitcoin pumpkin carving contest will be a little hampered for those who want to vote because the image does not appear.

It may be that, especially due to this unusual event, the pumpkin carving contest organizer will consider giving more time for voting...

I was not able to access Talkimg for some time and thought it might be the problem at my internet or a speed slow issue but coming here i came to know that this is something serious issue.

Please contact them asap so that there is no problem with any kind of data, if there is a problem then no data can be recovered. I also faced such a problem in 2021, suddenly the website became like this, but later I was able to fix it by talking to the hosting support. I hope you can fix it too.

Some of the old images that I uploaded using talkimg are no longer visible on bitcointalk, I wonder if the data is still saved with the hosting provider?
I hope this issue gets fixed quickly.

What I really wanted was to get this working! Sorry for the delay.

What I see here is that there is a problem with your site's hosting, maybe you can talk to the hosting helpline or their support. Only they can fix it because it's a hosting problem. As far as I can see nothing happened with your domain, domain okay but missing with your hosting.

Just when things start to calm down, something crazy happens.

23 million requests? It might be a struggle, but I'll get there.

the situation sucks, but take it easy man, there is no rush to get the website back up. take your time.

not sure if you are using a cdn for the images or serving them directly from your server, but it's possible someone uploaded images and then used them on a website with big traffic, which could explain why your server is being hammered by all the requests.
if that is the case, you might want to disable hotlinking so that you can get the website back up and check the logs to see what exactly is causing this.

i can't imagine this is a targeted attack?

I think that's it too. But I have to check all the cases to understand what these requests are or aren't.

Maybe I'll gather some IPs and share them here, they might be able to help identify it.

It seems that as soon as I said that it was almost resolved, the attack returned.

I'm struggling to solve it.

As the security system activated, it began blocking all traffic to the site to prevent losses.

Losses of data, or losses of bandwidth? If it was a DDOS, no data should be lost.

To me, this looks like a DDoS attack caused increased traffic and exceeded the maximum quota it receives from hosting. I am unsure if removing the suspension will be possible if the bandwidth limit is not increased.

joker_josue have you talked to the hosting support, maybe at least this month you should pay for a bigger hosting package, and later go back to a smaller one if it is enough. I assume that btt members can help with a donation to compensate for any extra payment.

Yes, no data was lost.
Everything is the same as it was, until the moment it all started.

The Internet is seriously flawed if everyone needs to huddle behind these huge centralized anti-DDoS companies in order to survive...

Unfortunately it is a sad reality. There is not much way to avoid this situation.

In +10 years of working with websites, it was the first time I had this problem. So it all ended up being a bit new to me. This only helps us learn and grow, to reduce the impact of this situation in the future.

I just checked on my laptop, everything seems fine, I can see the images, no issue no broken images. But at the same time, as I check through my smartphone, all the images are broken.

Your laptop is probably getting them from browser cache.

We are in the access stabilization phase, in order to guarantee minimum security for the server, in order to reactivate the website.

I apologize once again for taking longer than expected.
Believe me, I'm doing everything I can to make sure everything stays online.

No need apologize mate! We believe you and we know that you are doing everything in your power to resolve this issue. Wink

Btw, is everyone effected by this? I just checked on my laptop, everything seems fine, I can see the images, no issue no broken images. But at the same time, as I check through my smartphone, all the images are broken. Just letting you know....

I think this is probably the first big setback for TalkImg service since it launched, and it's amazing that it was working without problems for more than a year.
I hope nothing was lost in this attack, it would be problematic to restore all the files.
Let us know if you need any help joker_josue.

Initially, according to available information, no data was lost. Everything is on the server normally.

As the security system activated, it began blocking all traffic to the site to prevent losses. So, the unlocking only occurs when everything becomes more stable. We hope that everything can return to normal faster, with the redirection of traffic through Cloudflare's DNS, which should help stabilize. Now we hope it gets back to normal. Undecided

I appreciate your understanding.
