The social network Hello went offline today. New service has been around for a little over a month, and it already showed problems which many social networks face in their early days. Right now the social network seems to be back.
Visiting any of the site's pages led to the following error message: "The webσελίδα is not available, we are performing some necessary maintenance. Any updates on the status of our page will follow.”
However, according to the Ello status page, the outage is not due to maintenance: “We accept a possible attack service attack.” The company began investigating the DDoS attack at 16:15 PM EST.
It is possible that the first error message is the default one that automatically appears when something goes wrong (the page title still says "Offline for maintenance"), while the status page gives more accurate information. According to the administrators as you can see in the last message, after blocking the IPs the page works again.
