Attacking the Blender foundation is honestly a new low. There is no "lulz" and nothing to gain

This is most likely a demo from someone selling access to their botnet.

At least ddos some subsidieray from facebook or something that has not a lot of attention than a FOSS app :(

[–] Sallp@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Honesty, it might help Blender. More press covering a FOSS app and you have to know about something to try it out.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago

Fair point. Poor sysadmins trying to get the infrastructure back (assuming they have actually dedicated tech staff)

[–] vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org 26 points 10 months ago

I know. It's just rude.

[–] donuts@kbin.social 66 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Absolutely batshit to attack a piece of free and open source software that everybody loves. I guess they must have struggled with the donut tutorial.

Hey man, making a teapot almost broke me they had this coming

[–] konalt@lemmy.world 58 points 10 months ago

Dick move. Like tearing down a missing animal poster.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 51 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Of all thinks, why the fuck attack Blender!?

What, is Autodesk pissed at them for making an industry grade tool for free? I mean... I can't think of any reason why there'd be a motivation to attack Blender.

My first thought when reading this was that some private company is paying blackhats to do their dirty work.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yay let’s give the attackers press coverage. They’re slapping each other on the back saying “Look! We made The Verge!”

[–] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

I mean The Verge will report on literally anything these days.. the bar isn't exactly high.

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

Idiots with nothing better to do
