The company behind the popular Blender 3D creation software has been under attack since November 18th according to Blender COO Francesco Siddi, forcing multiple web services offline. Blender websites like code, developer, docs, devtalk, download, and wiki remain unavailable, but most Blender.org functionality has since been restored. Siddi said in his latest update that the attack has “slowed.” Update, November 22nd, 7.07AM ET: Added latest status information.
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.
