Bluesky Service Interruption
April 16, 2026
by Bluesky Team
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.
The attack is impacting our application, with users experiencing intermittent interruptions in service for their feeds, notifications, threads and search. We will provide an update no later than 10am PDT, April 17.
