Forums getting DDoS attacked?

Basically the title, I think the forum is getting DDoS attacked since there are like 4600 guest users currently on the website. I don't expect anyone to read this since the website is barely working

Got a pic rn

 

Yeah that is a bit weird, I am gonna see whats going on behind the scenes but to bring this site down you would need probably 10 times that online or more to break it

EDIT:

Some weird issues going on behind the scenes, nothing to worry about

 

This was going on last night

 

same here

 

now its normal

 

i dont know whats ddos, is it like the website got hacked? or something

 

Yes, DDOS is a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal traffic of a targeted server, service or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of Internet traffic. ( taken from wiki). To be simple it's a site attck by bots if i not mistaken

nah it's still continuing to me every 5 pages of beamng.com, idk maybe this problem is still up for russia and some other ip adresses

 

I think it’s over now.

 

for me too, from now

 

We have to wait and see if it happens again

 

it's over for me now

 

I sure hope not, barely wrote 1 message

 

Yes, has this happend before?

 

idk, maybe really much time ago

 

I have no clue lol

 

anyways, i sure beam developers will do something to block attack and won't let this crap happen again

 

they should put cloudflare protection or something else. Seems that this forum got very bad anti ddos or no anti ddos attack at all.

 

Yea, it was really bad.

 

Unsure if related, but I wanted to try and find some new Cyberpunk mods on Nexus, and they seem to be dealing with something similar. Site is unresponsive at the moment.

 

I saw an unusually high amount of online users last night. At this point, I think they should upgrade their servers with better anti-DDoS protection for the foreseeable future to prevent this from happening again.
