Incident
Report for Vagaro Inc
Resolved
This Wednesday, October 9th Vagaro sustained a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. The attack started at 10:32AM PST and ended at 12:33PM.
DDoS attacks are malicious attempts to render a website unavailable by overwhelming the site with an enormous amount of traffic from multiple fake sources. As a result of the attack, some Vagaro businesses were unable to reach their business page via Web or App. At no point was there a data breach in which personal or customer data was stolen or compromised.
Vagaro’s operations and security teams started mitigation efforts immediately and worked hard on stopping the attack and restoring service to customers. At the same time, customers were kept updated via our Status Portal (status.vagaro.com).
The number of DDoS attacks and their duration, scale, and complexity are unfortunately on the rise. A recent example includes the massive DDoS attack on Wikipedia in September of 2019.
Vagaro’s security team is constantly monitoring the risk of DDoS and other cyber attacks. We prepare for scenarios like these by ensuring that our web and IT resources can handle high traffic and by deploying mitigation technologies aimed at protecting Vagaro against attacks.
Thank you for your patience and support during the attack.
