Feedly and Evernote Hit With DDoS Attack
Evernote is back up but keeping close watch, and Feedly has publicly acknowledged an attempted extortion from its attacker.
Feedly and Evernote are currently experiencing DDoS — or distributed denial of service — attacks. If it seems like these attacks are becoming more frequent, it’s because they are. Bit.ly was hit just a couple months ago, as was Meetup.com shortly thereafter. According to TechCrunch, a host of other sites have been recent DDoS victims as well.
According to an official post on the Feedly blog, the DDoS attackers are trying to extort the site for money, and Feedly isn’t going for it.
We refused to give in and are working with our network providers to mitigate the attack as best as we can.
