We recently released a feature called BugSmash drop (inspired by Cloudflare and Netlify drop) - where users can simply drop their html or zip and get a live hosted link in seconds.

Idea was - users can have a quick and easy way to upload & host their claude/codex generated html previews and mockups - allowing them to quickly send a live link to their clients where they can review and share their feedback via BugSmash itself.

But, what instead happened -

Someone hosted a live gambling site on BugSmash.

The result -

37.1M hits on our servers in 24 hours!!!

Intermittent outages. Spent hours!!

Had to block the project and send a notice to the user.

Now implementing a check before such sites are uploaded!

So how's your Sunday going? 🥲
