Python infrastructure DDoS ongoing

Go on...

Thanks for the feedback, I was wondering why it got flagged.

I don’t necessarily agree that the title I chose fits the definition of editorialization, as I wasn’t expressing an opinion, but I could understand if people though of it as clickbait.

Edit: anyhow, apparently getting downvotes again. I’m a bit of an ignoramus when it comes to what makes people get upset, but given the current climate of fear, I’ll just chalk it up to that.

Would greatly appreciate a moderator taking a moment to explain to me the nuances, but again, given the current climate, I’ll avoid posting anything security related.

He can’t he has no evidence

Now that the post isn’t flagged, yes, I can: the two dates are correlated in time (one day apart), begging the question of whether or not anyone else had noticed that and whether or not anyone else had noticed similarly correlated reports of outages in what could be considered to be key infrastructure in the academic and business community.

I was trying to pip search for a library, and not being a regular python user, first became aware of this through the pip error message.

Read through the status page and was amazed that the issue was going on for so long. Also, I thought I remembered that Solar Winds attack was revealed around then. Did a search, it was the day before.

Nothing in the status page indicated having reached out to law enforcement to assist, which also struck me as odd, but whatever.
