  1. OVER 2000 FOLLOWERS LOST: There may've been an organised #cyberAttack on the #deCloudflare service, "#altLink".

    It recently underwent changes and needed a new instance to change its name to MitiGator. Why change instances? The previous instance, mamot.fr, had #closedRegistrations.

    The new, chosen instance may have lured the service to gain follower data and/or destroy the service.

    May be a case of #chooseYourInstanceWisely but we're investigating.

  2. EVOLVING STORY: There may've been an organised #cyberAttack on the #deCloudflare service, "#altLink".

    It recently underwent changes and needed a new instance to change its name to MitiGator. Why the need to change instances? Well, mamot.fr have #closedRegistrations for new accounts. The new, chosen instance may have lured them to gain follower data and/or destroy the service.

    It could be a case of #chooseYourInstanceWisely, but we are investigating.

    More soon.
