All big names including Trumps did. It's been down most of an hour. Some form of ddos attack. The bitcoin bit is close to what Twitter had happen. Whoever did it ( probably Google the fuckers ) has been sitting on it awhile likely.

If this is traceable to Google or other leftofascists, that becomes a good thing. Imagine the PR hit and massive lawsuit potential.

I keep admonishing people not to engage in demoralizing sarcasm, though the sentiment is exactly correct.

So, if we can't trust the feds to look into it, what would pedes do?

The chans love a good mystery. What data can we get

  1. during the attack
  2. potentially from a cooperative gab leadership

Do we have people here capable of looking in to this? I bet we do!

I bet the chans would be interested, given their well known feelings about censorship, and their penchant for conspiracy-theory hunts.

Let me try.

Hey FBI! The Gab hackers have their garage door pull rope tied like a noose!

My dream featured hack expert frens that could get some receipts. Would be nicer if, rather than Google it turned up some trace to Federal involvement. I know nothing about the mechanics of this, so... dreaming.

If it doesn't involve nooses or fake pipe bombs those toads are clueless...

You don't need "authorities" to get on anything in a civil case.

Yeah, I can't wait for Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes to do a full hour on how terrible it was that Gab got hacked.

I’m sure it will be reported on, NOT!

Well if I was going to try a scam like this, doing it all at one time is about the most fucking retarded way you could possibly do it.....

Hijacking the top comment to let people know that Gab is back online. They took it down temporarily out of an excess of caution because of the account hijackings. Only about 20 accounts were affected and they fixed the vulnerability that allowed it to happen. There's a big post by Andrew Torba on Gab about it if you want to read it for yourself.

I wonder how difficult it would be to do a coordinated ddos without infecting any computers?

Just tell all patriots to put the FB homepage up and have a program spam f5 or whatever works.

Facebook has 1.8 billion daily active users that they handle without issue. A DDOS attack would be incredibly difficult against them, and a manual one outright impossible.

One word.

Security.

Get into network security and your day will come. Might not be for a long time but it will come.
