A sophisticated DDoS attack disrupted Bluesky, the rising decentralized social network, with an Iran-linked group claiming responsibility. Although user data remained safe, the assault exposes the cyber risks facing next-generation platforms.
Bluesky, the decentralized Twitter alternative, was knocked offline by a major DDoS attack claimed by a pro-Iran hacktivist group. Here’s how the attack unfolded, what it means for users, and why even decentralized platforms aren’t immune to cyber threats.
Russia’s communications watchdog has added Bluesky to its blacklist, deepening the country’s digital isolation. As users turn to alternatives and VPNs, authorities ramp up efforts to control the flow of information online.
