Bluesky 表示其近期宕机是由另一次 DDoS 攻击引起的

Bluesky says its recent outage was caused by another DDoS attack. Social networking site Bluesky says its recent day-long disruption was caused by a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack that flooded the site with junk traffic. Bluesky 表示其近期宕机是由另一次 DDoS 攻击引起的。社交网站 Bluesky 表示，其最近持续一天的服务中断是由分布式拒绝服务（DDoS）攻击造成的，该攻击向网站发送了大量垃圾流量。

The social network confirmed the incident in a post on Monday, confirming the attack had taken place over the previous 24 hours. “We have upgraded our defenses in response, and we continue to monitor the situation,” Bluesky said in a post, without disclosing any more details. A spokesperson for Bluesky did not immediately respond to TechCrunch’s questions about the attack. 该社交网络在周一的一篇帖子中证实了这一事件，确认攻击发生在过去 24 小时内。Bluesky 在帖子中表示：“我们已升级防御措施以作应对，并将继续监测情况。”但未透露更多细节。Bluesky 的发言人没有立即回应 TechCrunch 关于此次攻击的置评请求。

DDoS attacks involve pummeling a website or server with large amounts of junk traffic with the aim of overloading its resources and knocking it offline. These kinds of attacks often rely on using large amounts of hijacked internet-connected devices — enlisted into a residential proxy network or a botnet — to harness their unused internet bandwidth to flood web servers. DDoS 攻击是指通过大量垃圾流量轰炸网站或服务器，旨在耗尽其资源并使其离线。此类攻击通常依赖于大量被劫持的联网设备（被编入住宅代理网络或僵尸网络），利用其闲置的互联网带宽来淹没 Web 服务器。

Security researchers discussing the attacks in the IFIN public forum report that Iran-backed attackers have claimed responsibility for the attack. Iran has increased its attacks on U.S. businesses and critical infrastructure since the start of the U.S. and Israel-led war earlier this year. 在 IFIN 公共论坛讨论此次攻击的安全研究人员报告称，有伊朗背景的攻击者已声称对此次攻击负责。自今年早些时候美国和以色列领导的战争开始以来，伊朗加大了对美国企业和关键基础设施的攻击力度。

This is the latest large-scale DDoS attack to affect the social networking site in recent months. In April, the site was hit by a prolonged series of outages caused by a similar flood of web traffic. It’s unclear if the attacks are linked. 这是该社交网站近几个月来遭受的最新一起大规模 DDoS 攻击。今年 4 月，该网站曾因类似的流量洪流而遭遇了一系列长时间的宕机。目前尚不清楚这些攻击之间是否存在关联。
