## Updates from SourceHut
### 2026-04-05 10:00 UTC: resolved
SourceHut was disrupted by a DDoS attack .
 Over the holidays SourceHut experienced a DDoS attack primarily targetting
git.sr.ht. For a period of several hours we experienced severe performance
issues and intermittent outages as a result, primarily affecting git.sr.ht.
 Our upstream network provider identified the malicious traffic and blackholed
the appropriate routes, but due to a configuration error SourceHut’s AMS subnet
was entirely null routed for a period of about one hour yesterday, causing a
complete outage for all services. Once the configuration error was corrected,
the DDoS continued to cause performance issues that primarily affected
git.sr.ht, until the attack died down later yesterday afternoon.
 The approximately 1-hour total outage of our AMS installation caused a severe
network partition that disrupted systems hosted in other installations, notably
our build workers. These issues were not understood until this morning, when the
ensuing problems were corrected. However, builds submitted in the meanwhile were
cancelled, and users will have to resubmit any builds from this period that
still need to be run. You can do this by opening the affected build on the
builds.sr.ht web UI and clicking “Resubmit”.
 Additionally, there have been some issues updating our status page, which
resulted in poor communication during the incident. An old outage notice was
never properly closed, and during the outage updating the status page was a
challenge – and a distraction. We elected to defer the solution until today to
allow our engineers to enjoy what remains of their holiday weekends. The status
page issues have now been resolved.
 We apologize for the inconvenience.
 (10:00 UTC — Apr 6) 
 Attacks have resumed. 
 DDoS attacks targetting git.sr.ht have resumed, disrupting performance and
availability. We are looking into mitigations.
 (15:30 UTC — Apr 6) 
 Attacks are ongoing. 
 We continue to experience a DDoS attack primarily targetting git.sr.ht. We are
continuing to explore mitigations but in the meantime you can expect continued
degraded performance on git.sr.ht, particularly with SSH operations.
 (10:30 UTC — Apr 7) 
 Attacks now targeting builds.sr.ht. 
 After a brief pause the attack is now targeting builds.sr.ht. We are once more
working on mitigations.
