Lately, Steemit is under DDoS attack and it happens frequently for the past few days. I wasn't active around the blockchain but I am seeing things from discord servers. The first time having this issues, everyone was coming out of their nest, wondering why they can't post. I care a little less about it because I was simply in no mood to post anything. Yet, today when I tried to get back on, steemit is under attack once more.
I read the article from wired the other day, it was a great coverage. But It could be two edge sword for steemit itself. The price has fluctuated and keeps failing. It can be either way good and bad.
Anyhow, There are numerous articles written to give alternate login but here, Just a reminder, You can always login through Busy.org. They have smooth interface and of course, a pop up notification, which I personally love. However, we can't see who likes our posts, maybe they should add this option in the future.
Also,another reminder. There was an attempt on phishing attack, therefore only login through trusted web developers. Store your keys safely, download or even print the keys. Always have backup everywhere, because in time like this, you're going to need them.
Busy.org now is under renovation... I asure to you once it done, front end is beautiful, neat and clean. While backend is safe and sound. I know it, I join beta testing.
@cloudsyper, I also joined their beta testing and working on a translation :) If you know any language other than english, I suggest you can try the translation project
your post makes steemians aware of current situation. We should take extra steps as you have said. upvoted you
@blyyros sure thing, as of now, you can wait for steemit to get back on working. Stay safe :)
Good
