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)

Justine has tweeted and yep it's a DDOS attack

Mumsnet's back up but it seems we are suffering a ddos attack. Our firewalls are mostly coping but it does mean that our App is temporarily down - big apologies to our app users

Was tweeted 15 minutes ago, so obviously slightly optimistic, as i'm still struggling to get on and i'm not on the App.

Why are they checking my web browser ?

There were screenshots attached to my post, I previewed it to check. Don't know why they haven't appeared.

It seems worse today.

AnExcellentWalker · 20/02/2021 15:22

I've had 2 different messages in the last few minutes. Slow here as well. All other sites normal. Samsung galaxy tablet.

@Haffiana

MN is clearly undergoing a DoS attack. My browser is getting checked all the time at the moment.
I'm beginning to think this too. I guess they know MN is an easier target at the weekend, it's been hours now and no fix / solution.

Also getting the error messages re checking browser - are MN undergoing a prolonged DDOS?

I tried Duckduckgo and google and stillgetting cloudflare error.
Seems to be when I click on a link on the site or do a search on the site. I can bring the site up with a google search.

It’s just about unusable today. I’ve had three different types of error message.
