2026-02-12 downtime

The ISFDB Web site came under a concentrated bot attack on Thursday, February 12, 2026 around 6am server (EST) time. We began deploying countermeasures in the afternoon. It may take another 24 hours or so for the new settings to be set up and propagated across the internet. Sorry about the interruption!

 

2026-02-13 9:05am EST update: The countermeasures have been deployed and the site is back up.
