"We are currently fighting against a DDoS attack against our service and our status page. We are analyzing network traffic with the help of our ISP at the moment and let you know once we have updates to share."

Didn't SourceHut go through the same issue?

(Yes, I'm aware DDoS attacks are nothing new)

> At around 06:00 UTC on January 10th [2024], a layer 3 distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack began to target SourceHut’s PHL infrastructure. We routinely deal with and mitigate application layer (layer 7) DDoS attacks, however, a layer 3 attack takes place at a lower level and is not within our ability to mitigate without the assistance of our network provider.

They're not paying the Cloudflare protection money?

DDoS or just too many new legitimate clients?

Codeberg has been under DDOS attacks for most of 2025, someone out there has it in for them and has been attacking relentlessly. The volunteer team has been very transparent posting about in social media and their blogs.

I think that even with someone having it out for them, the unfortunate reality of running a web service in 2025 is you have to be prepared to handle this and going down for hours at a time isn’t handling it.

I think it's best to take their statement at face value. I have no special insight into the organization.

Define legitimate clients. I'd guess that a good number of their "clients" are AI scrapers.
