Hi mnhq
Been having problems with mn this morning, it is horrendously slow and then I keep getting this error message as well
Not sure if it is just me
I am on iPad safari using desktop (because I cannot access the mobile site)

@User5768

What is a DDOS attack?
Basically where someone tries to break a website by flooding it with bot hits. Stands for distributed denial of service
AaronPurr · 20/02/2021 16:13

I have been getting this for a few days now

Yep this thread was started yesterday, and posters have been reporting problems for a few days before this. I wonder if it's been under attack for a while, and they just waited until the weekend when things are often less supervised to really go for it.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 20/02/2021 16:13

Another attack? I’ve lost count over the years how frequent this is. Come on MN. This isn’t on.

*Not sure about the first D though...maybe dedicated denial of service?"

I was wrong. Oops. Google tells me it is distributed...

Sorry to hear, Justine, and hope all can be resolved.
This is how much They don't want women to talk to each other.

It finally works.

thefallthroughtheair · 20/02/2021 16:12

Their website went down completely earlier. Presumably while it was being looked at?

I've been getting it all day today. And just now I got into the site, read a post and then hit back and got this message. Don't ban me!

Iv had error messages for a few days and it’s been slow. Now it checks my browser

AndPatraWillNeverSayNever · 20/02/2021 16:09

Me too. Been happening for a few days now. Only got worse yesterday and today. Been off the site for ages again trying to get back on.

AnneKipanki · 20/02/2021 16:08

Same here .

@JustineMumsnet

Hi all, We've been suffering a DDOS attack since approx 11.30 this am. Our firewalls are most working but that does mean that you get the message 'checking your browser' message and that the app is out of action for now. Big apologies - we're obviously doing our best to resolve.

Same here this afternoon. Can’t even reach last page of this chat so no idea if this will even show

@Prokupatuscrakedatus

I am asked for proof of my humanity i. e. by clicking on pictures of bikes etc before I can see anything.
It's an extra level of security to prevent site being flooded.
Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 20/02/2021 16:04

I've been getting that Cloudflare message in my browser for the last couple of days, and just nothing on my mobile app.

Benjispruce2 · 20/02/2021 16:03

Yep. Double post too.
