Reason for recent Mumsnet site down / outage?

What was the reason Mumsnet went down recently? I saw on an FWR thread that the last time this happened was in 2018.

Apparently there were Mumsnet-haters on Twitter celebrating the outage, some tweeting “Oops!” - with a suggestion that the outage might have been due to a Denial Of Service attack or Distributed DOS attack, connected to the launch of a new Women’s Rights campaign website that was being discussed on the Feminist Chat board.

Was Mumsnet down due to a DOS or DDOS attack?

If it was, has Mumsnet identified the attackers and/or reported the incident to Action Fraud?

Hi all

Sorry about this - we had an issue our end with a network failure, which is resolved now. Nothing untoward going on! Hopefully that'll be the last we see of that. Smile
