Disqus Beta Blog

One Disqus-enabled website was the recipient of an automated message flooding attack this morning. While malicious, it’s a bit different from what commercial spam is.

This attack put some stress on the Disqus service and a number of people may have had issues with accessing Disqus this morning. The entire incident, until all was completely smooth, lasted under 30 minutes. This was an isolated case and we’re implementing ways to address this moving forward.

Thanks,
Team Disqus
