"Harsh DoS Attack" Knocked Dread Offline

Dread, the darkweb discussion platform that serves as a centralized point of contact for users of other darkweb markets and forums, is currently down due to “a harsh DoS attack,” the creator said in a message on Reddit.

HugBunter, the creator of Dread, posted a message on the /r/DreadAlert subreddit about the current Dread downtime. He provided a temporary mirror. The signature is valid.

We are currently down due to a harsh DoS attack, I'll be enabling protections shortly so should be back online at the main link, however it is likely to be slow. I have enabled our persistent mirror link temporarily. I will keep this running for at least the next 24 hours, main link should be back online within the next 3-4 hours. http://kzu6yzouezayt2pb.onion
