Past Incidents

The level of traffic has reduced significantly due in part to our mitigation efforts, and due in part to a reduction in the volume of the bot attack. We will continue to monitor site performance closely, and encourage you to file a critical outage if you experience any problems.

We are continuing to experience unprecedented levels of bot activity. The botnet currently attacking us has rapidly adapted to our attempts to block or slow it. We are continuing our efforts to combat it and are monitoring site health closely, but are somewhat limited in our ability to respond to the attacks due to the legacy software stack IndieCommerce 1.0 uses.

If you experience any problems with your site, please file a Critical Outage here: https://www.bookweb.org/indiecommerce-report-critical-outage

We are currently experiencing extremely high volumes of distributed bot activity. We are working diligently to mitigate this activity and have engaged out service provider for additional support, but you may experience performance issues or occasional timeouts as we continue our work. If your site becomes inaccessible please file a critical outage.
