Comment on Understanding the recent DDoS attack against Read the Docsparent

Comments

I run a similar service, and we get almost daily attacks like this. Sometimes it's a specific high-profile customer, other times it's broader.

I can't speak for RTD, but I think it's less "documentation site" and more just that we sit on the domains of high-profile products and the tools are just looking for any hole they can find?

Often it's even the company themselves, for whatever reason (security research, etc).
