Intermittent SSH and SFTP connection issues due to brute-force attacks Tuesday 29th September 2026 20:37:00


We are currently experiencing periodic, large-scale SSH brute-force attacks originating from a wide range of IP addresses. We are actively blocking malicious connection attempts. However, the unusually high volume of incoming connections may occasionally cause brief disruptions to SSH and SFTP access to your Asteroid.

During these periods, you may experience delays, timeouts, or failed connection attempts when logging in via SSH or transferring files via SFTP. Automated tasks that rely on these connections, such as deployments or backups, may also fail and need to be retried. If you encounter connection issues, please wait a few minutes before trying again.
