To be honest, Ordinals put a huge target on his back. It has created a bunch of disgruntled people who will pull out all the punches to get rid of Ordinals and make the mempool congestion the way it was before. DDoS is a popular (and illegal) attack vector for achieving that.
If I were him, I would move to new hosting or maybe liquidate some $ORDI to fund a Cloudflare Business subscription, which can stop Layer 3/4 DDoS attacks, unlike the free version which can't. I actually learned this the hard way myself, after my own site was DDoS'ed recently. But since I'm not Rich Uncle Pennybags and can't afford/justify a Business subscription for this kind of thing, I just changed servers instead.

So many recommending Cloudflare while the error page is clearly from them. It’s less clear that it’s a malicious DDoS: https://x.com/hashamadeus/status/1740095217334931822
I’m interested to find out more about this:
It's not a DDoS, I just had an issue with a script I was running 😢, check your DMs

Well isn't this an interesting development, if you can't rek ordinals on-chain hit up the rest of the stack, since they rely on 3rd party indexers to feed wallets, various apps, and websites how would they function without them? it kills the use of the front ends that require these indexers
Very few of these users would not know how to interact on the chain directly or run a node

Don't you mean "would know how"?
The majority of BRC-20 users don't even know how to create a TapScript from scratch.

How dare you call it a DDoS. Pretty sure everyone involved is paying their internet bills.
(Disclaimer: I do not endorse DDoS, just pointing out the hypocrisy)
reply
Uhm, usually DDoS is done via botnets so it's not the attackers that pay the internet bill but innocent people with malware on their machines. This means the attackers definitely do not pay for the full bandwidth that reaches the target.
So I don't think this analogy holds tbh.

Innocent people were defrauded and bought a bunch of useless stuff. Naturally, this can be said to be some kind of DDoS, and the innocent people are paying the bills. Innocent people have malware in their brains.

Internet of Things is the biggest culprit, we need some big regulations for it and we also need some auto-securing platform that people switch all these things to from Windows and ancient Linux versions.
reply
Imo, big regulations ain't going to help with people not securing their devices. It might help with better security defaults and punishing companies for bad security, but I've seen "well-intentioned" regulations backfire too often, so I am skeptical.
IoT is a factor, but this was a problem even before IoT became a thing, I think.
There is no easy way out of this, people will need to learn some digital hygiene.
I am probably biased.
