Earlier today, someone random person falsely reported a data leak at Spoutible with a list of IP addresses to scare people into deleting their accounts. Those IP addresses are NOT from our database, and our systems haven't been breached. No user's data was accessed.

The same individual(s) then sent thousands of fake requests to our delete account URL to overwhelm our servers. This is clearly an attack on Spoutible meant to dissuade people from joining. Once again, none of our systems were breached, nor was any user's data accessed.

The attack is still ongoing, and Cloudflare is blocking the requests. Once the attack stops, we will enable the ability to delete your account.

This is just from the past few minutes alone. It is clear someone first tried to cause panic and then flooded our delete URL to overwhelm our servers.

Were these real or fake accounts because it sounds like someone was trying to attack the spoutible platform. Maybe it is too successful?

There are a truck load of fakes in this thread threating you, @cbouzy . I'm concerned for your well being.

I hope moderators can ban these people quickly. I've reported some.

I encountered my first one on Spoutible a couple of hours ago. Enraged me but also made my flesh crawl. Reported. Someone must be feeling very threatened by Spoutible’s growing success.

Spoutible is under attack again. We will certainly survive this. What are the attackers afraid of?

I think it's the same group of ppl who's been harrasing him on Twitter. They're afraid of his success. Every time Spoutible makes gains or gets attention they try something. The site just got lots of new users so they're trying to sabotage.

They're afraid of a successful social media platform that doesn't amplify their (hateful, harassing) voices. Because that will allow a more rational, less terrorizing ethos to emerge and a less exhausting experience.

They can't afford to have us talk in any remotely normal way.
