In an unfortunate turn of events, BISTRO BUDDY, a cornerstone of our community, recently experienced a malicious Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. The attack, which started at 5pm, aimed to disrupt our platform by overloading our servers. We want to reassure everyone that there was no hack or data breach involved. This was purely an attempt to overload our server maliciously and harm our community's reputation by some one who was strategically coordinated acting at our most users time.
BISTRO BUDDY has always been dedicated to providing a reliable and secure service. As soon as the attack began, we identified that it originated from a booter server located in the Czech Republic. Further investigation revealed that the attack initially came from the United States, where an unsuccessful local attempt was made due to the robustness of our new server hardware. Realizing their initial efforts were futile, the attackers escalated their assault using another server to carry out the attack.
Despite the disruption caused, we immediately took action to mitigate the attack and implement robust anti-DDoS protection services. We apologize for any poor user experience and assure you that our commitment to serving our community remains unwavering.
Our users were understandably frustrated by the downtime. We have received numerous stories and quotes highlighting the inconvenience caused. We deeply regret this and are working tirelessly to prevent such incidents in the future.
Now more than ever, we need your support. BISTRO BUDDY is more than just a platform; it’s a community cornerstone that brings together food truck enthusiasts, event organizers, and local businesses. We are calling on our community to rally behind us and continue supporting our mission.
We are incredibly grateful for the unwavering support and trust our community has shown us. Together, we can overcome this challenge and continue to grow stronger.
Thank you for being a part of BISTRO BUDDY. Let’s continue to build and support this amazing community.
With heartfelt appreciation,
The BISTRO BUDDY Team
