A decentralized service is IMHO way more susceptible to a DDoS because the individual servers aren’t as well protected nor do they have the admin resources on standby like professionally run infrastructure (plus 90% of users are on like 5% of the server).
Sometimes nodes are abandoned by their admins; what if there’s a security issue that can take other servers down with them that gets exploited on of these nodes?
holy hell Github - this is bad
heads up repo maintainers on Github - you may want to disable interactions for now
The last thing any OSS maintainer needs is their project getting a strike because some bad actor chose their repo 😤
