Wikidot

Following the recent hacking events, increasing wave of abuse from Russia, state-level disinformation, in light of war in Ukraine and disrespect of human rights and sovereignty, we decided to close access to Wikidot from Russia and Belarus territory.

Finally ONLINE! Wow! Kudos for your patience and support, big thanks to the Team and keep your fingers crossed!

Really good news: we have finally nailed a bug that prevented our database from working correctly. It was most likely an upstream issue with database indexes and was not related to the hack. Anyway, we're launching Wikidot in a few hours after we run the final checks!

Our database just gave us some serious chills. We have to restore the data once more because it appears inconsistent. No worries - we have 2 other safe backups. But we have to postpone Wikidot launch till Tuesday. One more day of patience for you and hard work for us! Take care!

Good news everyone! After a busy weekend we are going to bring Wikidot back online later today! We'll have to disable search and email notifications, but we'll keep working on restoring them too!

Honestly, I am really thankful for your patience, understanding, cool GIFs and all help offers. It really matters to us! We will do our best to bring your sites up on Monday!

"Day one" after the hack, we have been re-building the whole deployment environment to mitigate future attacks. Servers, security policies all get audited and software being upgraded to newest versions. We'll be working through the weekend and we'll re-launch Wikidot on Monday.

I think we now have a clear picture what happened yesterday. It's not as bad, but the cleaning will definitely take longer than expected. We'll need to restore some data from backups too to make sure we start with clean systems.

The recovery will definitely take more than 24h. Although we have all hands on board, we'd rather be safe than sorry and not leave any backdoor open.

Wikidot has been hit by hackers and all traces lead to Russian Federation. The data seem intact, but hackers left quite a mess. We need to scan literally everything to make sure Wikidot is secure before re-enabling it... It will take a while... Will keep you posted!

The issues we are facing are far more severe. Rest assured we have up-to-minute backups and we'll restore them if needed. But otherwise please be patient, this can take hours.

We are experiencing database issues and the whole Wikidot is off-line. We are working to bring it up ASAP!

Wikidot.com has been offline for some minutes. We have fixed the issue and now all our servers are back online. Thanks for your patience!

It seems that Wikidot is back on-line. We are sorry about the downtime. Even though it was not our fault, we wish it did not happen at all.

We are not the only one with outage. It's wide-spread. Really: twitter.com/search?q=aws+s3

Our outage is a direct consequence of Amazon S3 outage. Our servers are stuck waiting for S3 endpoints and fail to process other requests.

Our servers experience some difficulties - we are working on bringing Wikidot back online. We'll keep you updated!

@leiger_ thanks for the info, we will look into this ASAP. It looks like things are back to normal though.
