A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm dumb; can they do that? I thought DoS attacks could be done without hacking, but a url redirect would require hacking, right?

If they can change the page to a message, then they probably have the access needed to redirect the URL.

Oh nvm, I wasn't aware they'd done that. The article only talks about the outage.

ETA did anyone see this message, or have a screenshot of it? I can't find a single article about it. I don't mean the screenshot of the Operation Dreadnought website that's attached to this post.
