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.

Perfectly handled! Dont let these little bitch trolls scare anyone. They're scared of US, they wouldn't be attacking if they weren't. We're doing social media the right way. They aren't. People are coming around to our way of doing things.

Thank you for your diligence in protecting our data,

Matt
