## Updates from SourceHut
### 2025-01-02 19:30 UTC: resolved
Mitigations completed :
We believe that we have the attack under control and that there is no need for
end-user impacting mitigations to remain in place.
 (09:00 UTC — Jan 3) 
 Attack still ongoing, but under control :
Good morning. The attack is still ongoing, but we have been refining our
mitigations this morning. We addressed some cases which were causing git and hg
to crash under load, and narrowed our mitigations to better characterize the
load. All of our mitigations have now been disabled for logged-in users,
reducing the impact on legitimate traffic – if you hit an error page, log in
and try again.
 Thank you for your patience.

 A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on git.sr.ht is underway :
An attack similar to the one we encountered in December is once again
underway, summoning our sysadmins out of their holiday plans. We have deployed
mitigations which have mostly restored service but there are some user-facing
impacts for the time being.
 Happy new year!
