@IanCSU @python_engineer Just to clarify: you can have free account for as long as you wish to -- you need to log in only once per year, otherwise we assume that the account is not used anymore. I guess you're referring to re-enabling your web app once per 3 months on a free account.

The attack appears to be specifically targeting rather than customers' sites, so we've put in place mitigations that should mean that our customers' sites are back up -- please let us know if you have a site hosted with us that is still affected.

All seems well; we believe that the attack is over, but we have (a) various automated mitigations in place and (b) some tools we've written to allow even faster response if it ramps up again. On-call team members will be automatically paged if that happens.

One of the best ways to keep your code in sync on #pythonanywhere is using a version control system (like git). Sometimes our users have issues with accessing their GitHub repositories -- have a look at this (quite an old!) blog and update your GH auth
