Bluesky update on outages. [View all]

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

We have not seen any evidence of unauthorized access to private user data.
