Hello. Some sad and important news. Chinese Touhou websites are currently under DDoS attack. Chinese Touhou Wiki (THBwiki), a lot of forums, sites related to Touhou events and other big important Touhou sites and (according to some Chinese fans) some QQ and Telegram Touhou-related chats and Touhou-related servers for multiplayer games are under organised attack, which began 5 days ago and is becoming stronger day by day. Today the all services related to THBwiki which were hosted by Nyasama became down. To somehow understand the damage to Chinese Touhou fandom imagine if in 2011 Touhou wiki, MotK, gensokyo.org and most other Western Touhou sites became down at the same time. Nobody knows the goal of the attack and how long it would last. Maybe Western and Japanese Touhou sites are under looming threat. We should be prepared to that. The more people would know about this the more chances we have solve this problem. Official statement on https://bbs.nyasama.com (one of the biggest Chinese forums) (Google translated): Official statement by THBwiki (https://www.bilibili.com/read/cv36031940/ ) (Google translated): Current state of sites related to THBwiki you can see here: https://thwiki.github.io/status/ Status of Patchyvideo (VoileLabs): https://status.patchyvideo.com Info by Chinese Touhou Newspaper (10.07.2024): The large-scale attacks on Chinese Touhou Community still continuing today, and the number of the victims has increased to ten. THBWiki and Patchyvideo (THVideo) have announced suspension of external services. According to some reliable sources, yesterday from afternoon to night, the attackers used a lot of accounts to upload a large amount of politically sensitive content to THBWiki and Patchyvideo, which may be one of the factors that prompted the closure of the website. According to an announcement from Nyasama, they used attack methods including but not limited to DDoS, DoS, CC and sending illegal content to destroy Chinese Touhou websites that contain the word "Touhou Project" on the page. Secondly, the attackers may further extend to various Touhou QQ groups and BiliBili live.Please be aware. In the deteriorating situation,there are some suggestion. 1. Use Cloudflare and other security measures to protect the website. 2. Hide the visible links. 3. Close the issue tab of the Github repos. 4. Suspend the Touhou live on live platforms such as BiliBili. 5. Be alert to anonymously posted illegal information. 6. Review the add-group applicants. 7. Protect personal information. 8. Actively to use the reporting function. I hope we can help each other and overcome the difficulties time together. What can you do? Share this topic to your friend and let they know about it.
