Is Slack Going through a DDoS attack?

Posted by hackerpain on Monday January 04, 2021 @10:34AM
from the self-post dept.

Got connected like 5 times, then the messages wouldn't go and returned a 502 error which often happens when server is getting too many requests (DDoS incident?). After refreshing it showed the error screen.

Or, is it a tech glitch?

Down for me in both the client and the website. :P

Reminds me of the fact their home page redirects endlessly when JavaScript is disabled.

they haven't mentioned if an API (or, endpoint) is being DDoSed, just an incident update?
