The company behind the popular Blender 3D creation software has been under attack since November 18th according to Blender COO Francesco Siddi, forcing multiple web services offline. Blender websites like code, developer, docs, devtalk, download, and wiki remain unavailable, but most Blender.org functionality has since been restored. Siddi said in his latest update that the attack has “slowed.” Update, November 22nd, 7.07AM ET: Added latest status information.

    Attacking the Blender foundation is honestly a new low. There is no “lulz” and nothing to gain

      This is most likely a demo from someone selling access to their botnet.

          Honesty, it might help Blender. More press covering a FOSS app and you have to know about something to try it out.

            Fair point. Poor sysadmins trying to get the infrastructure back (assuming they have actually dedicated tech staff)

    Absolutely batshit to attack a piece of free and open source software that everybody loves. I guess they must have struggled with the donut tutorial.

    Of all thinks, why the fuck attack Blender!?

    What, is Autodesk pissed at them for making an industry grade tool for free? I mean… I can’t think of any reason why there’d be a motivation to attack Blender.

      My first thought when reading this was that some private company is paying blackhats to do their dirty work.

    Yay let’s give the attackers press coverage. They’re slapping each other on the back saying “Look! We made The Verge!”
