Ask HN: Our app has been attacked – How do you handle?
2 by qocial | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Our App** has been recently attacked in the last 24 hours. Someone is testing and doing security checking on our platform** without our consent. Even though, this has not made any single dent on our performance, Since our architecture is rock solid, but we failed on throttling user's request. We have received massive entries in our database from multiple attackers. We have temporarily disabled few things while we add throttling, but wanted to ask, how do you guys handle such attacks, when you receive them on your end? *Our internal chat screenshot - https://ift.tt/hFLPXOo **our app that is under attack by spammers - qocial.com, we launched a week ago and we shared our URL on reddit ( this is where I believe attackers are coming from ) Looking for some valuable feedback, if you report them at some places or just move on and add or improve throttling to requests, feel free to share your feedback please. Thanks
