Report: "Short.io domain resolution failure"

Last update
postmortem

The incident occurred due to the late renewal of the [Short.io](http://Short.io) domain, resulting in a temporary outage of all services provided via the [short.io](http://Short.io) domain \(API, statistics, short links\). The problem was noticed within seconds after expiration and domain was renewed immediately, but some users have incorrect DNS cache records for a longer period

Report: "DDoS Attack, affected redirects"

Last update
postmortem

Following a series of Distributed Denial of Service \(DDoS\) attacks on our network infrastructure, our development team conducted an extensive review and identified the lack of adequate DDoS protection as a significant vulnerability. These attacks severely impacted our service availability, affecting both client trust and operational performance. ### Issue Description The attacks utilized a high volume of requests to overwhelm our system, making it inaccessible to legitimate users. Traditional mitigation strategies proved insufficient against the scale and sophistication of these attacks. ### Resolution Development In response to this challenge, the development team proposed the integration of a Proof-of-Work \(PoW\) algorithm to bolster our defenses against DDoS attacks. PoW requires a not-insignificant amount of computational work from the requester, thus providing a natural barrier against the bulk automated requests typical of DDoS attacks. ### Implementation Strategy The chosen PoW algorithm will require all incoming requests to provide a proof of computational effort before processing. This method is expected to deter malicious actors due to the increased costs and effort associated with launching a DDoS attack.

Report: "Redirector downtime"

Last update
resolved

We've handled DDoS attack. Like previous one it was done with precise timing, so we did not have time to scale automatically. Like previous time our cache did not handle load and we passed data to upstream. This time we updated cache error management and working on faster reaction on DDoS attacks

Report: "Increased rate of 502 errors during redirect"

Last update
postmortem

**Cause:** The incident was caused by the new kind of DDoS attack. Attacker used perfect timing to start every attack wave: 1. Large wave of requests \(10k RPS\) got “cache miss” on our caching frontend and caused 502 errors in our redirecting module 2. 502 errors weren’t cached, so every new request bypassed cache as well, increasing load to our redirecting module 3. After cache was populated, attacker started a new wave with a different URL **Our mitigation:** 1. As an immediate fix we limited impact by disabling domain under attack \(it helped other clients' domains to be available\) 2. We implemented a solution, which prevents large numbers of requests to bypass cache at the same time 3. We implemented “siege mode” for domains under attack, which adds few more restrictions to these domains and increasing number of DDoS requests we can handle without affecting our legitimate customers
