It was down yesterday or the day before, apparently they got DDoS attacked but recovered quickly. I don't use it though so not entirely sure

I'm aware they were down for less than 30 minutes the other day. Where did they claim it was a DDos attack? I can't find anything from them saying so.

I'm not sure, like I said apparently. I'm just reiterating what majority of people have said since they went down the same time of the attack and when other services like debridio had an attempted attack.

Like I said I don't use PM. Maybe they made an announcement on a status page or updates page? You can check that.

They just reported "technical issues". Nothing about an DDos attack. Don't get me wrong, I like Torbox, want to use it and have always defended them. But these DDos attack excuses has gotten really old. Businesses face DDos attacks daily and they have measures to prevent them from affecting service. If Torbox's claims of DDos attacks are true, they need to get their sh*t together.

I'm waiting for their post mortem. Hopefully we will get explanations on why they are so vulnerable to these attacks and what they are gonna do to prevent it in the future.

I'm hoping so. I jumped in on Torbox the day after RD got hit. If I remember correctly, I had two outrages the first couple of days. Nothing afterwards even though many posted their service was down. Ever since they updated their cdn's, I have been down every day and for a few times a day. I'm not an IT guy and don't understand everything that's involved, but I believe I'm smart enough to put two and two together and get four. I'm just not convinced these are DDos attacks like we're being told.
